In this case, the eyeball is too short for the lens to focus a clear image on the retina. More than half of all patients who wear glasses are farsighted. Vision "screening" commonly done in schools, may not be adequate to detect or diagnose farsightedness accurately. You may be farsighted if you: Have difficulty concentrating and maintaining a clear focus on near objects. Suffer from eye strain, general tension, fatigue or headaches after close work. Have aching or burning eyes. Have poor reading ability or need to hold reading material away from your eyes. Become irritable or nervous after prolonged concentration. Farsighted people

Physics Tutorial Refraction and the Ray Model of Light Lesson 1 Lesson 2 ... Nearsightedness and its Correction Lesson 6: The Eye Farsightedness and its Correction The human eye's ability to accommodate allows it to view focused images of both nearby and distant objects. As mentioned earlier in Lesson 6 , the lens of the eye assumes a large curvature (short focal length) to bring nearby objects into focus and a flatter shape (long focal length) to bring a distant object into focus. Unfortunately, the eye's inability to a provide a wide variance in focal length leads to a variety of vision defects. Most often, the defect occurs at one end of the spectrum - either the inability to assume a short focal length and focus on nearby objects or the inability to assume a long focal length and thus focus on distant objects. Farsightedness or hyperopia The cure for the farsighted eye centers around assisting the lens in refracting the light. Since the lens can no longer assume the convex and highly curved shape which is required to view nearby objects, it needs some help. Thus, the farsighted eye is assisted by the use of a converging lens. This converging lens will refract light before it enters the eye and subsequently decreases the image distance. By improving the refracting ability of the eye, the image of nearby objects is once again focused upon the retinal surface.

Farsightedness Options What is Farsightedness? If you can see objects at a distance clearly but have trouble focusing well on objects close up, you may be farsighted. Your eye care practitioner may refer to farsightedness as long-sightedness, or by its medical names, hypermetropia or hyperopia. Hypermetropia causes the eyes to exert extra effort to see close up. After viewing nearby objects for an extended period, you may experience blurred vision, headaches and eyestrain. Children who are farsighted may find reading difficult. Hypermetropia is not a disease, nor does it mean that you have "bad eyes." It simply means that you have a variation in the shape of your eyeball. The degree of variation will determine whether you will need corrective lenses. What causes farsightedness? Hypermetropia most commonly occurs because the eyeball is too short; that is, shorter from front to back than is normal. In some cases, the cornea having too little curvature may cause hypermetropia. Exactly why eyeball shape varies is not known, but the tendency for farsightedness is inherited. Other factors may be involved too, but to a lesser degree than heredity.

HYPEROPIA - FARSIGHTEDNESS Farsightedness, or hyperopia, as it is medically termed, is a vision condition in which distant objects are usually seen clearly, but close ones do not come into proper focus. In mild cases of farsightedness, your eyes may have been able to compensate without corrective lenses. A person with hyperopia is able to see objects at a distance, but has trouble with objects up close, like books or newspapers. Many people are not diagnosed with hyperopia without a complete eye exam. hyperopic vision Farsightedness occurs if your eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, so light entering your eye is not focused correctly. The cornea and the lens work together to focus images from the visual world on the back of the eye (the retina). If an image is out of focus, it is typically because the overall shape of the eye is incorrect or the cornea does not have the proper curvature. Farsightedness or hyperopia occurs when the eye is too small or the cornea is too flat. When this happens, visual images are focused behind the retina.

Print this Page document.write ( "E-mail to a Friend" ); document.write ( "" ); New Surgical Treatment for Farsightedness But There Are Natural Options to Regain Your Vision The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new treatment for farsightedness known as conductive keratoplasty, according to the manufacturer, Refractec Inc., of Irvine, California. The technique uses radiofrequency energy to shrink small areas of the cornea, the transparent coat on the surface of the eyeball. Unlike laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), in which the surface of the eye is reshaped using a laser, conductive keratoplasty does not require cutting or tissue removal. The treatment may become the preferred method of correcting farsightedness in older patients.
