What affects the focal point, leading to near- or far-sightedness?

-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago

Near sightedness is a condition whereby the eyeball is too long or cornea has excess curvature such that light entering the eye is focused in front of the retina rather on the retina itself.

The exact cause of nearsightedness is unknown but there are two factors that may be responsible  for its development.

1. Visual stress

2. Heredity

Individuals who spend considerable time reading or working at a computer or engage in other types of intense close visual work may develop nearsightedness.

There is credible evidence that many people inherit nearsightedness or are at least  predisposed to the condition, especially if both parents suffer from the condition.

Far sightedness (hyperopia) is a condition where the eye is shorter than normal, the cornea is not curved quite enough or the lens sits further back in the eye than is normal.

This condition can be inherited especially if both parents suffer from it.

The other cause is through diseases like diabetes or glaucoma.

How does fee-for-service Insurance differ from private Insurance?
patriot [66]

Answer:

1. Usual, customary and reasonable. The plan probably will limit coverage to "medically necessary" treatments and to "usual, customary and reasonable" fees for that treatment in your area, as determined by the insurance company. Some services may be fully covered within these guidelines, others only partially covered. For example, 100% of your hospital bills may be paid but only 75% of your medical and surgical costs. If your doctor's fee is above the usual range for your area, you'll have to make up the difference. Benefits may be paid directly to the doctor or hospital. But, in the case of routine visits, you may have to pay up front and file paperwork for reimbursement. Often, the doctor's office will do the filing for you.

2. Predetermined costs, with limits. An indemnity, or scheduled, type of policy pays specific dollar amounts for each covered service according to a predetermined schedule or table of benefits. These schedules tend to become out of date even before the ink is dry on the policy. That means you could wind up digging deeper into your pocket to make up the difference between what the insurance company pays and what the doctor or hospital charges. Perhaps for this reason, this kind of policy is less common than it used to be.Explanation:
