- Sometimes rays of light do not focus on the retina.
- Myopia is short-sightedness.
- Hyperopia is long-sightedness.
- These defects are treated with spectacle lenses (glasses), which refract the light rays so that they focus on the retina.
- New technologies include hard and soft contact lenses, laser surgery to change the shape of the cornea and a replacement lens in the eye.
