Difference between nearsightedness and farsightedness?

Question

i always get the two confused and i may have a eye condition that goes along with nearsightedness. Can someone explain the difference between the two?

Answer 1

Near ----- Far.

Near is close to you.

Far is away from you.

Sighteness attached to either word, tells you whether you see things close to you or far from you. No confusion now I hope.

One more thing: To correct either the lenses have to be either concave or convex. How to remember which one is for which? Remember the word "SHAVE". SHort  sight - ConcaVE lens. Put to gether, the word is shave.

Then obviously, the other one, far sightedness will require a convex lens to correct your vision.

Hope this helps.
