myopia

Определение myopia в Английский Язык Английский Язык словарь: A lack of imagination, discernment or long-range perspective in thinking or planning; A disorder of the vision where distant objects appear blurred because the eye focuses their images in front of the retina instead of on it; {i} nearsightedness, condition of the eyes in which objects that are far away cannot be seen clearly (Ophthalmology); lack of insight and forethought; the inability to see distant objects as clearly as near objects; Also known as nearsightedness, it is a refractive error caused by an eyeball that is too long to focus light on the retina or a cornea that is too steeply curved In these cases, light focuses instead in front of the retina; Nearsightedness; a condition in which light rays from distant objects are focused in front of the retina instead of on it, so that distant objects are not seen clearly; Nearsightedness; shortsightedness; a condition of the eye in which the rays from distant object are brought to a focus before they reach the retina, and hence form an indistinct image; while the rays from very near objects are normally converged so as to produce a distinct image; Also known as nearsightedness, is the inability to see clearly at a distance It's the result of an eyeball that is too long or whose outside surface (the cornea) is too curved Nearsightedness can be inherited or caused by the stress of concentrating for long periods on close work; It is corrected by the use of a concave lens; The medical term for the refractive error known as nearsightedness It is a condition where the eye is longer than usual or the cornea and lens have too much focusing power In this condition images are in focus in front of the retina causing blurred distance vision; Myopia is the inability to see things properly when they are far away, because there is something wrong with your eyes. = short-sightedness; The inability to see clearly at a distance It is caused by an eyeball that is too long or whose outside surface (the cornea) is too curved Nearsightedness can be inherited, occur naturally, or be caused by the stress of concentrating for long periods on work at a close distance The condition is correctable with single-vision lenses; Also known as nearsightedness or shortsightedness Myopia occurs when the eyeball is too long from front to back, or the eye's focusing mechanism is too strong, causing light rays to be focused in front, rather than on, the retina People with myopia have difficulty seeing objects far away This refractive abnormality requires a minus (negative or concave) lens for correction; Nearsightedness; Also known as ‘short sight’ A refractive error of the eye in which light is brought to a focus in front of the retina, causing distance vision to be blurred (corrected using negative lenses) Uncorrected myopia may cause problems with distance vision, for example not seeing road signs clearly when driving; "Nearsightedness" due to the eyeball being too long or the refractive powers of the cornea and lens too strong Myopic patients may see near objects clearly, if at an appropriate distance, while more distant objects are blurred; A refractive error where parallel rays of light focus in front of the retina when the eye is at rest (so-called 'short sight'); Or nearsightedness, the ability to see close objects more clearly than distant objects; occurs when parallel light rays are brought to a point of focus in front of the retina of the eye, resulting in blurred distance vision Also called nearsightedness; A refractive error where the light undershoots the fovea and requires compensating lenses (glasses or contacts) to move the light back onto the fovea This condition is often called nearsightedness A myopic person has trouble seeing far distances clearly, and unless they have a substantial amount of myopia, nearsighted people often have good vision at near This blurriness at far distances can lead to headaches, eye fatigue, and difficulty reading the chalkboard; Nearsightedness Further Information; Myopia means "nearsightedness " A nearsighted eye can focus better on close objects than on distant objects But this is a relative term, meaning that the degrees of nearsightedness vary considerably Without corrective lenses, someone who is extremely nearsighted really only sees clearly at too close a distance to be functional, while people who are only mildly nearsighted can generally see well enough to perform most of their daily tasks An eyeglass or contact lens prescription for a myopic eye will begin with a minus sign (Cassel 18); (ophthalmology) eyesight abnormality resulting from the eye's faulty refractive ability; distant objects appear blurred; (nearsightedness); nearsightedness; a condition in which visual images come to a focus in front of the retina of the eye and vision is better for near than for far objects; may be due to a cornea which is too flat and/or an eyeball which is too long; Also called "nearsightedness," or bad distance vision, myopia can occur at any age but is more common in young people It can create tremendous learning problems for school-aged children who cannot see what the teacher is writing at the front of the room It is caused by the eyeball being too long from front to back, so that your retina receives an out-of-focus image It can be corrected with lenses with a "minus" prescription, or with laser surgery; Also known as nearsightedness, myopia is a refractive error caused by an eyeball that is too long to focus light on the retina or a cornea which is too steeply curved In these cases light focuses instead in front of the retina; The medical term for nearsightedness Eye is too steep, too long, image is focused in front of the retina; A disorder of the vision where distant objects appear blurred because the eye focuses their images in front of the retina instead of on it. Also called shortsightedness, nearsightedness; Nearsightedness, short-sighted (UK): a refractive condition in which light entering the eye is focused short of the retina, resulting in a blurred image; myopy; shortsightedness; short-sightedness
