vitreous humour with the retina can lead to reduced visual acuity, for instance, if the media do not focus the incoming light on the retina, but instead focus it in front of the retina (short-sightedness), [...] behind it (long-sightedness), or if one focus point on the retina is not attained (astigmatism). In addition, damage to the eye media, the retina or the optic nerve can lead to reduced visual acuity.
