Your eye is a complex system of multiple [[eyeballs|layers of material]] with different [[refraction|refractive indexes]], all trying to project the great big wide world onto your tiny retina. Sometimes there is a mismatch between the refraction of light into the eye and its length, and the focusing system at the front of the eye misses its target in the back. This causes [[ | Your eye is a complex system of multiple [[eyeballs|layers of material]] with different [[refraction|refractive indexes]], all trying to project the great big wide world onto your tiny retina. Sometimes there is a mismatch between the refraction of light into the eye and its length, and the focusing system at the front of the eye misses its target in the back. This causes [[near-sightedness]] or [[far-sightedness]], which is not a medical disease in and of itself, but just a description of your refractive state not being perfect. | ||

Just like you'd get your kid checked out if he was a little short for his age, but just focus on healthy lifestyle choices if his health was otherwise good. | ||
If your vision problems are entirely due to refractive state, your doctor will probably prescribe glasses that give a [[20/20 correction]]. At the point that you've been medically cleared and have a [[prescription]] you are ready to start the EM method. | If your vision problems are entirely due to refractive state, your doctor will probably prescribe glasses that give a [[20/20 correction]].
