On this page we will look at the same scene through the eyes of four different people, one with normal vision, and the others with different vision problems.  This should give you a feel for how these people see the world.

     Nearsightedness

This is the scene through nearsighted eyes.  Close up objects like the chairs are in focus, while objects far away like the islands are blurry.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Farsightedness

This is the scene through farsighted eyes.  Objects far away like the islands are in focus, but close up objects, like the chairs are blurry.
 
 
 
 
 

Astigmatism

This is the scene through astigmatic eyes.  This is like a combination of both near and farsightedness, making all objects blurry.
