The three common refractive defects of vision are as follows:-
Myopia (short-sightedness):- It is corrected by using spectacles having concave lenses of appropriate power.
Hypermetropia (far-sightedness):- It is corrected by using spectacles having convex lenses of appropriate power.
Presbyopia:- This defect is corrected using bifocal lenses of appropriate power in which the upper part consists of a concave lens (to correct myopia) and the lower part consists of a convex lens (to correct hypermetropia).
