Ametropia

Ametropia of the eye is a violation of the shape or location of the eyeball, in which the patient does not see objects clearly and clearly due to different refractions of light rays. In healthy people, vision is formed due to the shape of the cornea, the distance to the lens in the eye, and the cone of light. With pathologies, the refraction of light varies, so the image does not fall on the retina - the brain cannot recognize the picture. The eyes are subject to various types of atropy, they tend to completely lose focus and diopter of vision, or, on the contrary, it will increase to one. If official medicine is used for treatment, the result appears after 20-30 days, alternative methods give results within a month.

Types of atropy in people The following types of diseases are distinguished:

1. Anisometropia is the main visual disorder when the object image of the left and right eyes falls on different points of the retina. 2. Amblyopyemia - characterized by impaired accommodation of the eye muscles; the body stops the development of visual function at the first stage after birth. Degenerative processes occur in the cornea; the patient is forced to consult an ophthalmologist in the first month of life. 3. Absolute atropenia - develops with hereditary abnormalities of the visual apparatus, associated with the structure



Ametropia is a refractive error of the eye that does not allow it to correctly focus on objects located at different distances from the eyes. Diagnosed in children from the neonatal period or in the first months of life. This rarely occurs in adults, since its causes are mainly congenital. Depending on the cause, ophthalmology distinguishes several types of ametropia: farsightedness, myopia.

Ametropia is based on uneven refraction of the light beam in the optical system of the eye. With a curved cornea, the rays seem to diverge and scatter, which contributes to the development of blurred vision. The true reason for the development of ametropic disorder is thinning



**Ametropia** (from the Greek *“a” - particle of negation + “*metros - measure*”) - in optics, the absence of a certain optical effect from light rays passing through the optical system. There are three types of refractive error: hypermetropia (a stronger degree of astigmatism), anisometropia and myopia (a less severe degree of astigmatism). In this case, the relationship between the refractive index and the wavelength of light is directly proportional. Despite the fact that the shape of the eye and its size may vary, the image that is formed on the retina always remains sharp and clear.



Ametropia is a complex of refractive errors of the eye that leads to loss or decrease in visual acuity. Ametropia can be congenital or acquired (due to diseases).

Eye refraction is the process of changing the refraction of light that occurs in the eye. With normal refraction, light is refracted and focused on the retina of the eye. In the case of ametropia, however, the refraction of light is impaired, which can lead to various pathological conditions such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

Myopia is a condition in which the refracted point of light is closer to the retina than it should be, resulting in blurry near vision. Farsightedness, on the other hand, is characterized by a refracted point of light located further from the retina, which interferes with clear distance vision. Astigmatism can be a combination of both types of anomalies, with one type being slightly stronger than the other. All of these refractive errors increase the likelihood of headaches, glare, fatigue, and visual degeneration.

Treatment for ametropia often involves correcting the shape of the cornea using contact lenses or surgery. Unfortunately, there are only a limited number of treatment methods that can restore visual acuity in complex forms of ametropia. Therefore, it is important to recognize the importance of regular examination by an ophthalmologist to detect and monitor refractive error at the earliest stages of its development.
