Myopia (Nearsightedness)

Myopia (also known as nearsightedness) is a common condition. Between 30 and 40 percent of adults in the US suffers from some level of myopia. When your eyeball or cornea is too long, the outer layer of your eyeball becomes overly curved. The light that enters your eye will not be able to focus. This can cause blurred vision. People usually start noticing symptoms of myopia in their childhood. Symptoms include:

Headaches
Squinting
Eyestrain
Eye fatigue

Hyperopia (Farsightedness)

Hyperopia (also known as farsightedness) is a condition that causes you to see things that are far away better than things that are close to you. If your eye is too short, or the power to focus is weak, it will prove to focus on subjects up close and cause things to look blurry. Symptoms include:

Trouble concentrating on nearby objects
Blurry vision
Eyestrain
Headaches
