Retinal detachment decreased floaters

is nearsightedness due to light rays being focused in front of the retina when looking at distant objects.

Myopia

is farsightedness due to light rays being focused behind the retina when looking at near objects.

Hyperopia

is farsightedness related to the loss of lens accommodation (lens becomes larger and less *elastic so near vision is reduced) and occurs with increased age.
