name the eyes defects???

Major defects of vision are as follows:

1. Myopia (short sightedness)

Myopia is a defect of vision in which a person clearly sees all the nearby objects, but is unable to see the distant objects comfortably and his eye is known as a myopic eye. 

2. Hypermetropia (Long sightedness)

Hypermetropia is a defect of vision in which a person can see distant objects clearly and distinctively, but is not able to see nearby objects comfortably and clearly.

3. Presbyopia (Ageing vision defect)

Presbyopia is a common defect of vision, which generally occurs at old age. A person suffering from this type of defect of vision cannot see nearby objects clearly and distinctively. A presbyopic eye has its near point greater than 25 cm and it gradually increases as the eye becomes older.

4. Cataract

It is also one of the eye defects found commonly in people of older ages. In this defect, the crystalline lens becomes milky and cloudy. This condition is also known as cataract. This causes partial or complete loss of vision. This loss of vision can be restored by removing the cataract by means of a cataract surgery. The use of any kind of spectacle lenses does not provide any help against this defect of vision.
