farsightedness lietuviškai

Paaiškinimas anglų kalba

• abnormal condition in which vision for distant objects is better than for near objects
• seeing ahead; knowing in advance; foreseeing
• a reduced ability to focus on near objects caused by loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens after age 45
• A refractive error in which rays of light entering the eye parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus behind the retina, as a result of the eyeball being too short from front to back. It is also called farsightedness because the near point is more distant than it is in emmetropia with an equal amplitude of accommodation. (Dorland, 27th ed)
