•astigmatism

•presbyopia

There are 4 reasons why you will need glasses:

Normal eye Refractive errors

Normal sight: Distance vision is good because focusing is exactly on the retina

Age: All sight is good until 45 when close vision fails

www.focusclinics.com

Short sight Refractive errors

Short sight: Distance vision is blurry because focusing is too strong inside the eye

Age: Starts usually teens to twenties

www.focusclinics.com

Long sight Refractive errors

Long sight: Distance may be good initially but near vision blurry as focusing is too weak inside the eye

Age: Starts usually thirties to forties - later distance vision will become blurred

Astigmatism Refractive errors

Astigmatism: Distortion at all distances due to uneven focusing

Age: Starts young, may worsen in teens to twenties
