With near-sightedness you see near by objects clearly, but distant objects are blurred. This is caused by the fact that the light beams converge in front of the retina in stead of on the retina.
This results in a blurred image. Near sightedness can be corrected with a minus glass prescription. The light beams converge on the retina and this results in a sharp image. A nearsighted person who wants to function without glasses or contact lenses can choose an Artisan or Artiflex lens implantation. Other surgical procedures for replacing glasses are also an option.
