| nearsightedness, astigmatism, Astigmatism |
Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism are common vision problems that affect people of all ages. Each condition is distinct and affects vision differently. nearsightedness affects distance vision, farsightedness affects near vision, and astigmatism causes blurred or distorted vision. Each condition can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
1.nearsightedness (Myopia)
Nearsightedness is a condition in which a person can see objects clearly up close, but objects in the distance appear blurry. This happens because the eyeball is too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of on it.

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, can cause several types of discomfort. These may include:
①Blurred Vision
The primary symptom of myopia is blurred distance vision. This can make it difficult to read road signs or see objects far away, causing eye strain and headaches.
②Eye Strain
People with myopia often need to squint or strain their eyes to see distant objects clearly. This can cause eye fatigue and discomfort, especially after prolonged periods of reading, using a computer, or doing other near-vision tasks.
③Headaches
Eye strain caused by myopia can lead to tension headaches that may be centered around the forehead or temples.
④Difficulty in Night Driving
Myopia can make it challenging to see objects in low-light conditions such as while driving at night, making it difficult to drive safely.
2.Farsighted
Farsightedness is a condition in which a person can see objects in the distance clearly, but objects up close appear blurry. This happens because the eyeball is too short or the cornea is not curved enough, causing light to focus behind the retina instead of on it.

| Farsighted |
Farsightedness, also known as hyperopia, can cause several types of discomfort. These may include:
①Blurred near vision
The primary symptom of farsightedness is difficulty seeing objects up close clearly, such as when reading or working on a computer. This can cause eye strain and headaches.
②Eye strain
People with farsightedness may need to exert extra effort to focus on near objects, causing eye fatigue and discomfort, especially after prolonged periods of reading, using a computer, or doing other near-vision tasks.
③Headaches
Eye strain caused by farsightedness can lead to tension headaches that may be centered around the forehead or temples.
④Difficulty in focusing
Farsightedness can make it difficult to focus on objects up close, leading to discomfort or avoidance of tasks that require near vision.
⑤Double vision
In some cases, farsightedness can cause double vision, making it difficult to read or perform other close-vision tasks.
3.Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a condition in which the cornea or lens of the eye is irregularly shaped, causing light to focus on more than one point on the retina, resulting in blurred or distorted vision. This can affect both distance and close-up vision.

| Astigmatism |
Astigmatism can cause several types of discomfort. These may include:
①Blurred or distorted vision
The primary symptom of astigmatism is blurred or distorted vision, both at distance and up close. This can cause eye strain and headaches.
②Eye strain
People with astigmatism may need to exert extra effort to focus on objects, causing eye fatigue and discomfort, especially after prolonged periods of reading, using a computer, or doing other vision tasks.
③Headaches
Eye strain caused by astigmatism can lead to tension headaches that may be centered around the forehead or temples.
④Difficulty in night vision
Astigmatism can make it difficult to see clearly in low-light conditions, such as when driving at night, making it hard to see road signs and other important objects.
⑤Squinting
People with astigmatism may squint to try to see objects more clearly, leading to additional eye strain and discomfort.
⑥Distorted depth perception
Astigmatism can cause objects to appear elongated or shortened, leading to difficulties with depth perception and difficulty in performing certain tasks, such as driving, playing sports, or operating machinery.
