Refractive Defect
There are 3 fundamental refractive defects: myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism.

Myopiais when people have difficulty seeing far objects. The rays are focused in front of the retina.  The nearer objects are perceived more clearly while further objects are blurry.

Hypermetropia is the difficulty seeing objects that are near.  The rays are focused at the back of the retina.  Astigmatism is the condition in which the transparent layer has an oval shape instead of a sphere and this causes point objects not to appear as a point on the nerve layer.  Far and near vision is blurry due to multiple focus points.

Astigmatism can also commonly occur with hypermetropia and myopia.  Cornea and lens surface deformities can also cause distortion and irregular astigmatism.

Presbyopia is when people have difficulty focusing on near objects after the age of 40. Near sight glasses must be worn at this stage.  Glasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery can be used to fix refractive defects.
