Common Vision Problems
Common Vision Problems
If you're experiencing vision problems, learning about the inner workings of your eye can help you understand what might be happening. Proper vision care is essential for these and other eye conditions, so have your eyes examined annually.*
Common vision problems can include:
- Myopia (Often called being nearsighted)
- Hyperopia (Often called being farsighted)
- Presbyopia (The worsening of vision with regard to age is usually due to presbyopia, in which your lenses begin to thicken and lose their ability to bend and focus properly.)
- Astigmatism (An irregular curvature of the cornea. Astigmatism can be corrected easily with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery.)
For a quick definition of these and other ocular terms, check out our glossary.
