Study Notes

Hyperopia (Long-Sightedness)

  • Definition: A condition where close objects are seen clearly, but distant objects appear blurry.
  • Cause: Visual images focus behind the retina due to an irregular shape of the cornea or lens.

Eye Structure and Function

  • Cornea: Contributes 65-75% of the eye's total focusing power; abnormal shape can cause hyperopia.
  • Lens: A transparent, biconvex structure behind the iris; loss of elasticity leads to hyperopia.
  • Iris and Pupil: Control the amount of light entering the eye by opening and closing the pupil.

Refraction and Vision

  • Hyperopia: Can cause blurry vision at all distances.
  • Emmetropia: A state of refraction where a point at an infinite distance is focused in front of the retina.
