What Is An Ocular Stroke?
 Most people understand when someone says their father had a heart attack (let´s call it a heart stroke for this discussion) or a stroke (we´ll also call it a brain attack).

The eye is a sophisticated light-gathering device. With all of it´s complexity, however, it works very much like a camera. Incoming light is focused (or refracted)by a two-lens system: first the cornea (clear covering over the front of the eye)and then the crystalline lens (located behind the pupil). ğmore...

Presbyopia
The natural lens of the eye, which lies behind the pupil, acts to focus incoming light. When a baby is born, the lens is very soft and putty-like.

When vision is shifted to something at a distance, the lens thins in order to bring the far-away object into focus. ğmore...

Astigmatism
Most of the light coming into the eye is focused by the cornea, the clear covering over the eyes front. If the cornea is perfectly shaped, then light is focused to a fine point. If the cornea is not perfect (that is, if it is more curved in one direction than another), the focus point is stretched out. This causes blurred vision, and the condition is known as astigmatism. ğmore...
