Nearsightedness is when the eyes focus incorrectly, making distant targets appear blurry.
A myopic woman sees bleary objects in the distance, but clearly when trying to read or see something that is close. If you see an undiagnosed near sightedperson, you will notice them squinting. The Greek words for shut and eye form the root for the term myopia, which is the technical term for near sightedness.
Jaeger charts are used to assess a woman’s near vision. A Snellen chart will be better for assessing somebody’s far-off vision. A nearsighted person won’t be able to look at the image from a Snellen chart with great clarity and so the letters looked fuzzy and unfocussed.
Shortsightedness is caused by the actual length of the eye being longer than the optical length. So you often see this in a rapid growing eye in a child undergoing rapid growth. When a individual’s growth stops - around the mid twenties - they tend to be less nearsighted. If the actual length of the eye is too large, the light rays focus too soon and the image becomes cloudy. So, the times of rapid growth are the times when people are most likely to become shortsighted.
