the term used to indicate Double vision is ? | diplopia |
the condition in which the ability to accommodate for near vision becomes inadequate because of loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens is called? | presbyopia |
when there is loss of vision without any apparent disease of the eye, known as? | amblyopia |
a refractive error in which the rays of light do not come to a single point of focus is called? | astigmatism |
the condition in which the crystalline lens of the eye gradually loses it transparency with consequent loss of visual acuity is known as | cataract |
