If contact lenses are an interest then an appointment for a fitting may be made. If you wear contact lenses currently, notify the receptionist when making the appointment so more time can be set aside to evaluate the lenses and the contact lens fit. The eye's refracting power is too strong for the length of the eyeball. This results in the light not reaching the retina and blurry vision is perceived in the distance. The eye's refracting power is too weak for the length of the eyeball resulting in light focusing behind the retina.
Blurry vision is perceived near and maybe at far.
When we are younger, our visual system easily overcomes this condition for distance objects and symptoms are not noticed. However, it takes more work from our visual system to view objects up close so we are usually symptomatic at near. As we age, our visual system is not robust enough to overcome our refractive error and blur is noticed more often. The main refracting surface of the eye is the cornea. This causes a distortion of the light that hits the retina creating blur in all distances.
