retina; no rx required; can see clearly
hyperopia - also known as far-sightedness; occurs when the light that enters the eye is too weak and
focuses behind the retina; need convex lens correction
myopia - also known as near-sightedness; occurs when the eye's focusing power is too strong and
focuses in front of the retina; needs concave lens correction
binocular vision/functional vision - alignment of the eyes and focusing ability for close objects
function vision disorder symptoms - asthenopia, headache, blurry vision, double vision, tired eyes,
feeling tired during periods of reading, avoidance of near activities, or dislike of reading
asthenopia - eye strain
Eye health problems can be the result of a problem with the..... (2 things) - anatomical structure of the
