What is Myopia?
Myopia, or Nearsightedness, occurs when near objects are seen clearly, but distant objects do not come into proper focus. It means you see "near" best.
What is Hyperopia?
Hyperopia, or Farsightedness, occurs when distant objects are usually seen clearly but close ones are not brought into proper focus. Although it means you see far best, it is essentially a focusing problem.
Farsightedness or long-sightedness is often referred to by its medical names, hypermetropia or hyperopia. Hyperopia causes the eyes to exert extra effort to see close up. After viewing near objects for an extended period, you may experience blurred vision, headaches and eyestrain. Children who are farsighted may find reading difficult. Read More . .

If you see two of whatever you are looking at, you may have a condition known as double vision, also referred to as diplopia.

In double vision, two images are seen at the same time, creating understandable confusion for anyone who has it. Read More . .
Do you occasionally see specks or threadlike strands drifting across your field of vision? Then, when you try to look at them, do they seem to dart away? If so, you're seeing what eye care practitioners call spots or floaters.
While almost everyone sees a few spots at one time or another, they can occur more frequently and become more noticeable as you grow older. If you notice a sudden change in the number or size of spots, you should contact us right away so you can be sure they are not the result of a more serious problem.
