| Myopia (nearsightedness) Without spectacles the myope's distance vision is blurred, but his near -or even very near- vision can be perfect. The myopic eye is too long. When the eye looks at a point in the distance, the visual image comes to a focus in front of the retina. Its projection onto the retina is no longer a point but a round spot. The object is seen blurred. Myopia is corrected by a concave or divergent lens. |
