Different Types of Eye Disorders
The need for prescription eyeglasses could come from many different eye conditions. The most common eye disorders are Farsightedness, Nearsightedness and Presbyopia.
Nearsightedness, otherwise known as Myopia, is the most common eye disorder. It occurs when light focuses in front of the retina rather than focusing on the retina. The symptoms for Myopia are blurred vision on objects that are in the distance. Squinting the eye will actually make the object clearer. Vision can be corrected with prescription eyeglasses with either a bifocal or trifocal lens.
Farsightedness, or Hyperopia, is just the opposite of Myopia. The light focuses behind the retina instead of in front of the retina. One common symptom of Hyperopia is headaches or the eyes will become tired from reading. It is difficult to see objects that are within close range. In children, the most common symptom is crossed eyes. Again this eye disorder, too, can be corrected by wearing prescription eyeglasses.

Lasik Vision Eye Care and UV Ray Protection
Another important benefit of having Lasik Vision surgery is the use of sunglasses. Anyone who has had eyeglasses for more than a day realizes the inconvenience of having to carry 2 sets of glasses if protection from the suns UV radiation is a consideration.
Laser Eye surgery can correct your vision to the point where eyeglasses aren’t needed any longer. This opens up the whole world of off the shelf sunglasses for personal use. With Lasik Vision, no more are you required to just select a second set of spectacles from the optometrist but can now go into any sunglass store and pick any of the latest sunglass fashion designs.
This is important because everyday no matter if it’s cloudy or sunny outside we are exposed to UV radiation. UV radiation is invisible so we don’t even realize that it is there. Just as these rays can damage the skin they can also damage the eye. The most common condition is photokeratitis, which is similar to a sunburn. Your eyes will hurt, be red, be sensitive to light and tear up a lot. These symptoms usually pass with no permanent damage to the eye. However, long and prolonged unprotected exposure can harm your eyes. This type of damage can raise your risk for cataracts, which is a clouding of the lens of your eye or damage your retina. Both of these conditions are serious to your eyes and often can’t be reversed.
