Definition

  1. 1
    Estado del ojo que generalmente proviene de un problema en la curvatura de la córnea, lo que impide el enfoque claro de los objetos tanto lejanos como cercanos. La córnea, que debería ser esférica, sufre un achatamiento en sus polos, lo cual produce distintos radios de curvatura en el eje del ojo, lo que genera imagenes poco nítidas y distorsionadas en la retina.
