Astigmatism results from a different curvature of the eye’s cornea or lens, which causes blurry vision and trouble seeing fine detail. Toric contact lenses provide different refractive powers on the vertical and horizontal orientations to correct astigmatism.

Farsightedness
Nearsightedness
Scotoma
Diplopia

Explanation

Answer: A - Farsightedness describes a patient whose eye has too little dioptric power.

Light is focused behind the retina if a patient’s eye has too few diopters in relation to eye length. The farther behind the retina the light is focused, the more farsightedness, and the more out of focus an image will be.
