There are mainly three common refractive defects of vision. These are (i) myopia or near-sightedness (ii) Hypermetropia or far – sightedness (iii) Presbyopia. Myopia is also known as near-sightedness. A person with myopia can see nearby objects clearly but cannot see distant objects distinctly.
You probably know people who need eyeglasses or contact lenses to see clearly. Maybe you need them yourself. Lenses are used to correct vision problems. Two of the most common vision problems are myopia and hyperopia.
