What is hyperopia? Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is very common and is usually inherited. Hyperopia is a refractive disorder, not a disease. The shape of the eye distorts light, so that nearby objects appear blurred. More distant objects may be seen clearly. Hyperopia in children may improve as they grow older. What are the symptoms of hyperopia? Blurred vision Difficulty seeing close objects Crossed eyes in children How is hyperopia treated? Eyeglasses or contact lenses can correct the refractive error caused by hyperopia. Some types of hyperopia can be corrected surgically.

2. Farsightedness - Hyperopia Farsightedness or hyperopia, occurs when light entering the eye focuses behind the retina, instead of directly on it. Farsightedness (hyperopia). Overview. http://www.stlukeseye.com/farsightedness.htm

Farsightedness (Hyperopia) Overview Farsightedness or hyperopia , occurs when light entering the eye focuses behind the retina , instead of directly on it. This is caused by a cornea that is flatter, or an eye that is shorter, than a normal eye. Farsighted people usually have trouble seeing up close, but may also have difficulty seeing far away as well. Young people with mild to moderate hyperopia are often able to see clearly because their natural lens can adjust, or accommodate to increase the eye’s focusing ability. However, as the eye gradually loses the ability to accommodate (beginning at about 40 years of age), blurred vision from hyperopia often becomes more apparent. Signs and Symptoms Difficulty seeing up close Blurred distance vision (occurs with higher amounts of hyperopia) Eye fatigue when reading Eye strain (headaches, pulling sensation, burning) Crossed eyes in children Detection and Diagnosis Hyperopia is detected with a vision test called a refraction. Young patients’ eyes are dilated for this test so they are unable to mask their farsightedness with accommodation. This is called a wet refraction.

This changes the shape of the cornea, giving farsighted patients better vision. If you are nearsighted, CK and LTK are not for you. The main advantage of CK and LTK is that they are non-invasive. They do not involve knives or lasers cutting into ocular tissue, nor is any instrument inserted into the eye. Therefore, they tend to create fewer surgical complications than other refractive procedures. However, their disadvantage is that in many cases the cornea changes back to its former shape, thus nullifying the vision correction. This is called "regression." Studies have shown that CK, a newer technique, poses less risk of regression than LTK. Data presented by the designer of CK indicates that it carries no more risk of regression than other refractive surgeries, but it is too early to be sure about this claim.

15. Hyperopia hyperopia is the medical term for farsightedness. In this condition, the focusing power of the eye is too weak for the length of the eye. http://www.gansmart.com/medinfo/sf/hyperop.htm

HYPEROPIA is the medical term for farsightedness. In this condition, the focusing power of the eye is too weak for the length of the eye. Ideally, the cornea and lens , the two focusing structures in the eye, focus images directly on the surface of the retina . If the eye were too short, or the focusing power too weak, the image would be focused behind the retina. At the retinal surface, the image would be blurred. Thus, the vision, too, would be blurred. Corrective lenses in the form of glasses or contact lenses are used to refocus the image so that it falls directly on the retina, clearing the vision. Until age 40 or so, the eye has the ability to accommodate , or focus over varying distances. Often, this ability allows people who are farsighted to see clearly at all distances without glasses. At present, there is no approved surgery to correct farsightedness, alone. In the future, surgical correction of this condition may be possible. Richard E. Gans, M. D.

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.

Hyperopia eye is too short for its optics In an hyperopic eye, far objects are focused behind the retina when accommodation is relaxed (i.e., the eye is too short for its optics).

Home Myopia Hyperopia Astigmatism Presbyopia HYPEROPIA The basic process of sight begins when light rays enter the eye through the cornea, the front surface of the eye. The cornea begins bending the light rays toward the back of the eye. The light then passes through the lens of the eye, which directs the rays toward an exact spot on the retina in the back of the eye. When that light reaches that perfect spot on the retina in a normal eye, the image seen is clear and in focus. If you are hyperopic, or farsighted, you can focus well on objects at a distance but not as well on nearby objects. This condition is similar to presbyopia but the cause is different. Hyperopia occurs either because the curve of the cornea is too flat or because the eyeball is shorter than normal from front to back. The effect of this condition is that the light rays from nearby images are focused on a point behind the retina. This is what causes the near image to be blurry. To clear up the near vision, glasses or contact lenses may need to be worn to bend the light rays more sharply on the retina. If you're having trouble focusing on objects close up, see your eyecare professional for a comprehensive eye health exam.
