Refractive errors, like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, are common, and their symptoms are usually improved by the prescription of eyeglasses or contact lenses or in some cases surgery. Patients with vision conditions involving eye coordination disorders like convergence insufficiency, amblyopia and strabismus, experience the best results from treatment when the condition is caught early in life. Color vision disorders affect the ability to distinguish some colors and shades are less than normal. Because many learning materials are color-coded, it is important to diagnose color vision deficiency early in life

Astigmatism
If you experience a distortion or blurring of images at all distances -- nearby as well as far -- you may have astigmatism. Even if your vision is fairly sharp, headache, fatigue, squinting and eye discomfort or irritation may indicate a slight degree of
Hyperopia
If you can see objects at a distance clearly but have trouble focusing well on objects close up, you may be farsighted. Farsightedness or long-sightedness is often referred to by its medical names, hypermetropia or hyperopia.
Myopia
If you can see objects nearby with no problem, but reading road signs or making out the writing on the board at school is more difficult, you may be near- or shortsighted.
Presbyopia
Hold the book up close and the words appear blurred. Push the book farther away, and the words snap back into sharp focus. That's how most of us first recognize a condition called presbyopia, a name derived from Greek words meaning "old eye."
Convergence Insufficiency
Convergence Insufficiency (CI) is the leading cause of eyestrain, blurred vision, double vision (diplopia), and/or headaches
Computer Vision Syndrome
Vision-related symptoms that may be caused or aggravated by regular use of a computer for two or more hours a day.
Double Vision
If you see two of whatever you are looking at, you may have a condition known as double vision, also referred to as diplopia.
Headaches
Contrary to popular belief, headaches are not typically caused by eye strain or improperly fitted glasses. The most common cause of headaches is tension. If there is tension in a person's everyday life, such as stress at work or at home, the muscles in
Spots & Floaters
Do you occasionally see specks or threadlike strands drifting across your field of vision? Then, when you try to look at them, do they seem to dart away? If so, you're seeing what eye care practitioners call spots or floaters
