Q

Glaucoma

A

a condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure, diagnosed with tonometer, can be stopped but damage cannot be reversed

39
Q

Myopia

A

nearsightedness caused by the cornea and lens focusing an image ahead of the retina

40
Q

Hyperopia

A

farsightedness caused by the cornea and lens focusing an image behind the retina

41
Q

Astigmatism

A

a condition caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea of the lens of the eye that results in images not being focused on the retina

42
Q

Accomodation

A

the ability of the eye to change the shape of the lens to keep an image in focus with a change in distance
