EVER WONDERED WHAT CERTAIN WORDS MEAN

Your eye isn’t perfectly round — more like a rugby ball than a soccer ball. This can make things blurry, but it's very fixable.

As you get older, your eyes don’t zoom in as easily to read small print. That’s why you suddenly need reading glasses around age 40+.

The clear lens inside your eye goes cloudy — like looking through a frosted window. It’s common with age and can be fixed with a simple operation.

You see near things clearly but far-away things are blurry — like signs or faces in the distance.

It’s the clear dome at the front of your eye — like the watch glass covering a clock face. Many surgeries reshape or adjust it.

It’s like cataract surgery, but done before you get cataracts. Your natural lens is swapped for a high-tech one to correct vision.
