Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is when someone can see objects near them but struggle with those that are further away.
Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism are common causes of problems that affect vision.
This is a condition where your retina is pulled away, or detaches, from its position at the back of your eye.
When the natural lens of your eyes becomes clouded, it’s called cataracts. This happens when proteins in the lens break down and this will cause you to have a blurry, or hazy vision.
As your eyes move, you may notice spots or shadows in your field of vision. They’re small and most noticeable when staring at a bright background, such as a white sheet of paper. Getting a closer look at them can be challenging, as they will dart away as you try to look at them directly. They can appear in different shapes, such as tiny dots, thin lines, and may also resemble cobwebs.

Binocular vision is normal when both eyes are able to fuse images of the same object together without much effort when looking at both distance and near. When we switch from viewing a distant object to reading text on a page, our eyes converge in order to avoid double vision. When looking up, down, right or left at a distant object, both our eyes should move in the same direction to keep the images fused. They are four muscles in each eye that controls the eyes movement. These muscles are controlled by nerves. If a problem occurs in any of the nerves and/or any of the muscles it innovates, double vision may occur in some or all positions of gaze.
