Refractive errors
The human eye behaves as
a perfect optical system in a very small percentage of
population. When the rays of light coming from a distant target, gets
perfectly focused on the
retina, the condition is called
emmetropia
 |
Myopia or short
sightedness
Refers
to a state of the eye, wherein the rays of light coming
from a distant target, get focused at a point in front of the
retina.
In this situation, minus powered glasses or contact lenses are
necessary to focus this image onto the retina
|
 |
Hyperopia or long sightedness
Refers
to a state of the eye, wherein the rays of light coming
from a distant target, get focused at a point behind the retina.
In this situation, plus powered glasses or contact lenses are
necessary to focus this image onto the retina |
 |
Astigmatism or
cylindrical power
Refers to a state of the eye,
wherein the rays of light coming
from a distant target, cannot focus at a single point on the retina.

to focus the light onto the retina
