Near and far-sightedness
A normal person has a certain distance from which the eye can still effortlessly see sharply, both in the distance and close up. If both the point at which you can see clearly in the distance and the point at which you can see clearly nearby are before the normal distance, we speak of myopia. If these points are just behind the normal viewing distance, then we speak of farsightedness. Both of these can be remedied by a lens (monofocal) that is cut in such a way that the points return to the “normal” line. This is necessary, because otherwise the eye itself is continuously struggling to restore vision. As a result, you may experience headaches or even concentration problems and eyestrain. If you suspect your eyes are in need of a helping hand, always have your eyes measured.
Nearsightedness (myopia)
Do you sit closer and closer to the television or squint your eyes often? Often this is a sign that you have difficulty looking into the distance. Negative monofocal lenses, or “minus lenses,” allow you to see sharply in the distance again without pinching.
Farsightedness (hyperopia)
As a farsighted person, you have difficulty reading and get headaches quickly in the process. With positive monofocal lenses, or “plus lenses,” this inconvenience can be remedied.
There are many other things to consider, but it goes too far to go into them in depth. What matters is that you can see well again without any effort! You can always ask us for an eye measurement or more information. Get in touch via the contact page on this website!
