Overview

The vision of distant objects can be blurred due to four common refractive errors: nearsightedness (myopia), which makes far-away objects look blurry; farsightedness (hyperopia), which makes nearby objects look blurry; astigmatism, which makes far-away and nearby objects look blurry or distorted; and presbyopia, which affects middle-aged and older adults.

Causes

Causes of refractive errors are,

• Changes in the form of the eye and length of the eyeball (when the eyeball grows excessively long or short)

• An eye's naturally steeper or flatter surface

• A lens that is thinner or thicker than usual 

• Aging of the lens

• Problems with the cornea's shape.

Symptoms

The most common symptom is blurred vision. Additional symptoms include 

• Seeing halos or glares around bright lights 

• Double vision 

• Fuzzy vision 

• Squinting 

• Headaches 

• Eye strain (the feeling of fatigue or soreness in the eyes) 

• Difficulty concentrating while using a computer or reading.
