Ang myopia,hyperopia at astigmatism

BANTAY KAPWA - Cielito Mahal Del Mundo -
ANG mga mata ay isa sa pinaka-importanteng parte ng katawan kapag ang mga mata ang pinag-uusapan, may tatlong bagay na dapat malaman: Parts of the eye, eye diseases and vision effect. Ang dalawang naunang nabanggit ang saklaw ng mga ophtalmologist samantalang ang vision defect at trabaho naman ng mga optometrists gaya ni Dr. Fe Flores Cataquiz na kinapanayam ng BANTAY KAPWA para sa mahalagang impormasyon tungkol sa vision effect na nahahati sa tatlo; ang myopia, hyperopia at astigmatism. Ayon kay Doktora Fe, ang myopia ay mas kilala bilang shortsightedness. Nagkakaroon ng problemang ito dahil ang eyeball is too long from front to back and as a result light rays from distant object meet before they reach the retina and when the light rays do strike to retina it causes blurred vision. Sinabi ni Dr. Cataquiz na eyeglasses o contact lenses ang makatutulong sa problemang ito.

Ang hyperopia naman ay long sightedness dahil ang eyeball is too short from front to back and the light rays from distant objects reach the retina before they meet thus the lens can accommodate enough for sharp distance vision but not sharp near vision. Eyeglasses at contact lenses din ang remedyo rito.

Ang astigmatism naman ay sanhi na tinatawag na misshapencornea. As a result of the abnormal shape all the light rays from an object do not come together at one point in the eye. Some rays may focus on the retina but others may meet before they reach the retina or they may reach retina before they meet. Both distance and near vision are blurred in most cases and usually the patient suffers eyestrain or headache. Para malunasan ang astigmatism, salamin at contact lenses na may cylindrical component ang inirerekomenda ng mga opthometrist. Para sa karagdagang kaalaman sa mga naturang eye vision defect, tawagan ni Dr. Cataquiz sa 532-9015.
