Focusing and/or Squinting
In order for light rays to be brought to a focus they must be refracted. The amount of refraction required depends on the distance of the object which is being viewed. A distant object will require less bending of light than a nearer one. Most of the refraction occurs at the cornea which has a fixed curvature. The remainder of the required refraction occurs at the lens. The lens can be pulled flatter or rounder by muscles, which adjust the power of the lens. As we age we lose this ability to adjust the focus. Such a condition is known as presbyopia.

If eyes are not focusing properly, squinting may occur. If squinting occurs there may also be other probelems developing in the eye. It isstrongly suggested that a visit to a qualified eye doctor, optometrist or ophthalmologist.
