Why do you need glasses?PART 1:

EVERYONE will need to wear glasses in their lifetime, either for distance or reading or both!

This means YOU!

Why can’t you see clearly?

•short sight (myopia)

•long sight (hyperopia)

•astigmatism

•presbyopia

There are 4 reasons why you will need glasses:

Normal eye Refractive errors

Normal sight: Distance vision is good because focusing is exactly on the retina

Age: All sight is good until 45 when close vision fails

www.focusclinics.com

Short sight Refractive errors

Short sight: Distance vision is blurry because focusing is too strong inside the eye

Age: Starts usually teens to twenties

www.focusclinics.com

Long sight Refractive errors

Long sight: Distance may be good initially but near vision blurry as focusing is too weak inside the eye

Age: Starts usually thirties to forties - later distance vision will become blurred

www.focusclinics.com

Astigmatism Refractive errors

Astigmatism: Distortion at all distances due to uneven focusing

Age: Starts young, may worsen in teens to twenties
