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.
Normal
Normal
This is the scene as viewed through normal eyes. Things near and far appear in focus.
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.
