A common vision condition in which near objects appear clear, but objects farther away look blurry
What is Myopia?

What is Orthophoria?
The outermost, clear layer of the eye, immediately anterior to the anterior chamber, iris, and pupil
What is a cornea?
A viral infection of one eye that causes a varying amount of pain, redness, blurry vision, watery discharge and sensitivity to light
What is Herpes Simplex Keratitis? (HSV)
The part of an eye exam that measures a person's prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
What is a Refraction?
The gradual loss of your eyes' ability to focus on nearby objects. In Greek it means "Old Eyes."
What is Presbyopia?
A type of strabismus (eye misalignment) in which one or both eyes turn inward. Although the condition occurs most commonly in infants and children, it can develop at any age.
What is Esotropia?

What is Allergic Conjunctivitis?
This test measures your peripheral vision, or how well you can see above, below and to the sides of something you're looking at.
What is a visual field?
A vision condition in which distant objects are usually seen more clearly than close ones.
