    Short Sightedness Vs Long Sight

    Uploaded by

    Devill Davaj
    This document compares myopia (short-sightedness) and hyperopia (long-sightedness). Myopia occurs when the eyeball is elongated, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina and resulting in blurry distant vision. Hyperopia occurs when the eyeball is shortened, causing light rays to focus behind the retina and resulting in blurry close vision. Both conditions can be treated using corrective lenses that are concave for myopia and convex for hyperopia.
