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.
