'''Emmetropia''' is the state in which an eye is neither [[nearsighted]] nor [[farsighted]] : the image of an object at infinity forms on the retina, rather than in front of or behind it. We are all born farsighted and drift towards emmetropia after birth.

'''Emmetropia''' is the state in which an eye is neither [[nearsighted]] nor [[farsighted]]. An eye is said to be emmetropic. It occurs when the image of an object at infinity forms on the [[retina]], rather than in front of or behind it.
 
Babies are born [[farsighted]], and become emmetropic over time after birth.
