Weak eyesight is a term that generally is used to refer to nearsighted
eyes. People who are nearsighted can see well at a short range. But
anything very far away at all is likely to be a dull blur. The term weak
eyesight is misleading, for in nearsighted eyes the lens of the eye is
actually too strong. The nearsighted lens is so powerful that it focuses
the light coming into the eye too quickly. The image is formed in front
of the retina, which contains the optical nerves. Nearsightedness is
common, and its growth may be gradual; often the blurring of distant
objects is so slight at first that a person may not recognize the condition.
Nearsightedness is frequently discovered first at school. It is here
that a student first realized he has difficulty seeing words on the
blackboard, whereas others in the class have no trouble reading the
board at all. After discovery, nearsightedness can easily be corrected.
A concave lens called a minus lens because it decreases the power of
the lens of the eye itself is the prescription.
