  Nearsightedness, Farsightedness, Astigmatism and Presbyopia

An ideal eye has perfect  near and distance vision. This means that the cornea (the front surface of the eye) and lens (located in the middle of the eye) focus objects clearly onto the retina (the part of the eye that processes vision). 

Unfortunately, not everyone has perfect vision. Many people have one or more of the following conditions:   Nearsightedness    Farsightedness    Astigmatism    Presbyopia
