Different Types Of Eye Disorders
By Timothy Gorman, Thu Dec 8th
The need for prescription eyeglasses could come from manydifferent eye conditions. The most common eye disorders areFarsightedness, Nearsightedness and Presbyopia.
Nearsightedness, otherwise known as Myopia, is the most commoneye disorder. It occurs when light focuses in front of theretina rather than focusing on the retina. The symptoms forMyopia are blurred vision on objects that are in the distance.Squinting the eye will actually make the object clearer. Visioncan be corrected with prescription eyeglasses with either abifocal or trifocal lens.
Farsightedness, or Hyperopia, is just the opposite of Myopia.The light focuses behind the retina instead of in front of theretina. One common symptom of Hyperopia is headaches or the eyeswill become tired from reading. It is difficult to see objectsthat are within close range. In children, the most commonsymptom is crossed eyes. Again this eye disorder, too, can becorrected by wearing prescription eyeglasses.
Presbyopia is another type of eye condition that can becorrected with prescription eyeglasses. This disorder is wherethe eye's lens cannot focus. This usually happens to everyone inhis or her late forties. The symptoms for Presbyopia are that aperson finds himself or herself holding reading material fartheraway to enable reading. Also, eye fatigue is a common symptom.
The importance of getting regular eye exams to check for theseeye conditions can't be overstated. Left untreated, all of theseconditions will only worsen.
In a routine eye exam the optometrist will also do a glaucomatest. Glaucoma is the build up of fluid on the eye that resultsin pressure on the retina. It is irreversible if left untreated,and can cause total loss of sight. This is one eye disorder thatcannot be treated by wearing prescription eyeglasses. However,this condition rarely has symptoms, therefore stressing theimportance of routine eye exams.
