And if it is possible to correct your vision with the camera lens, can the picture then be printed with the same clarity for the poor vision haver?

    I think not, if the camera uses a screen to display images it’s essentially the same as an image on our computer/phone, as a bunch of pixels a fixed distance away from our eyes. Change focus point of our eyes can’t unblur an image.

    However if there’s a camera that when taking photos the person looks directly into the lens, it will be different. Here the lens funcions as glasses.

      Manual focus cameras were in use way before the invention of pixels or electronic screens ;). The focusing screen was a plate of frosted glass that the lens image projected onto. It was all completely analog. The the length of the light path through the lens to the focusing screen had to exactly match that to the film, or else the images would be out of focus.
