What are the differences between myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism?
Myopia refers to near-sightedness while hyperopia is synonymous to farsightedness. Astigmatism is a common condition that involves an irregularly shaped cornea, which could distort your vision.
What are cataracts?
Cataracts cause your lens to be cloudy, impairing your vision in the process. They are normally caused by age and sun exposure and require surgery once ripe and fully formed.
What is glaucoma?
Glaucoma refers to damage to your optic nerve that causes a gradual and irreversible loss of vision. It can be detected through an eye exam and could lead to blindness if left untreated.
