An eyesight abnormality resulting from the eye's faulty refractive ability, such that one can see only close objects distinctly; the condition of being nearsighted. See Myopic, and Myopia.
With nearsightedness, light rays pass through the cornea and lens and converge in front of the retina, not on the retina. This makes close objects appear clear, but objects in the distance blurry.
Clinically known as "Myopia". The eye is too steep, too long, image is focused in front of the retina.
Also known as myopia, causes poor distance vision. If your eye is too long, or if your cornea has too much focusing power, images focus in front of the retina.
(ophthalmology) eyesight abnormality resulting from the eye's faulty refractive ability; distant objects appear blurred
A condition where the eyeball is too long and steep, so that light rays focus before they reach the retina. The result is difficulty in seeing distant objects c lear ly.
able to see objects nearby more clearly than distant objects
is the common term for myopia.
Nearsightedness ( Myopia) is the inability to see clearly at a distance. It's the result of an eyeball that is too long or whose outside surface (the cornea) is too curved. Nearsightedness can be inherited or caused by the stress of concentrating for long periods on close work. Go to Top
A condition that usually starts in childhood and stabilizes in the late teens or early twenties. Because the eye's focussing powers are too strong for the size of the eye, near objects are seen more clearly and those far away appear blurry. Light is focussed in front of the retina. Myopia.
A common term for myopia. A condition of the eye that results in blurred distance vision. The cornea and lens focus light rays from distant objects in front of the retina. This incorrect focusing of light results in blurred images of objects at a distance.
the inability to see distant objects as clearly as near objects, because the focusing power of the eye is too strong. Light rays come to focus in front of the retina instead of on the retina.
The ability to see near objects more clearly than distant objects. Also called myopia. See the entire definition of Nearsightedness
Light entering the eye is focused short of the retina, causing the image to be blurred. Essentially the eyeball is too short. {diagram
Also called myopia. Condition in which visual images come to a focus in front of the retina, resulting in defective vision of distant objects.
The inability to see things clearly at a distance. A vision condition in which near objects are seen clearly, but distant objects do not come into proper focus. Occurs if your eyeball is too long or the cornea has too much curvature, so the light entering your eye is not focused correctly. Also known as MYOPIA.
an inherited, sometimes stress-related condition that occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved. The result is an inability to see at a distance. The medical term for this condition is myopia.
the common term for myopia. Ophthalmologist a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and medical or surgical treatment of visual disorders and eye disease.
Another term for myopia. Images in the distance seem further away than they really are and are very blurry.
A condition of the eye in which distance vision is blurred. Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, is caused by faulty light refraction in the eye; distant images do not focus clearly on the retina.
If you have myopia, you have difficulty seeing things in the distance.
The ability to see close objects more clearly than distant objects. In this type of refractive error, light is focused in front of the retina. Correction of nearsightedness brings the light to focus on the retina.
also called myopia; a refractive error of the eye where the image of a distant object is formed in front of the retina and cannot be seen distinctly; near objects are seen more clearly than distant objects
the common term for myopia. (See Myopia)
This type of defective vision usually results from an eyeball which is too long. A nearsighted individual will see near objects well but needs corrective lenses (thinner in the middle) to see objects at a distance.
