Short-sighted (myopia)

Contact_Lenses_nearsightedness_2_lg.jpg

For a short-sighted person, close objects are clear, but distant objects, such as a school blackboard, a street sign, or a face across a room, are blurred and difficult to distinguish. Over 25% of adults worldwide are short-sighted.

What is the cause?

Technically known as myopia, short-sightedness occurs when the eye is unusually long, this shape causes light rays to focus too far in front of the retina. An inherited condition, it is often discovered when children are 8 to 12 years old. During the teenage years, when the body is growing rapidly, it gets worse, then between ages 20 and 40 there is usually little change.

For short-sightedness Bausch + Lomb offer these lenses:

Long-sighted (hyperopia):

Contact_Lenses_farsightedness_2_lg

If you are diagnosed with hyperopia, this means that you will have blurred vision at all distances which means your eyes are making a constant effort to focus, which can lead to strain, headaches, and eye fatigue. This happens because the eye is shorter than normal. This shorter shape causes images to be focused behind the retina rather than on it. Long- sightedness is usually inherited.

In fact, babies and children are usually slightly long-sighted as their eyes grow and lengthen, the condition corrects itself, generally by the time they reach seven or eight. However, some young people who remain long-sighted are unaware of it, because they have enough flexibility in their focusing power to correct the condition without the aid of eye glasses or lenses.

For long-sightedness Bausch + Lomb offer these lenses:

Astigmatism:

Contact_Lenses_astigmatism_2_lg.jpg

A normal cornea is round and smooth like a baseball. With astigmatism, the cornea curves more severely, like a rugby ball. Astigmatism is inherited, and can occur in combination with short-sightedness or long-sightedness.

What are the symptoms?

For people with astigmatism, all objects both near and far are distorted. Images are blurred because some of the light rays are focusing correctly and others are not. This sort of  distortion can be thought of like a wavy pane of glass.

For astigmatism Bausch + Lomb offer these lenses:
