Back to Top General Hyperopia / Farsightedness Information Hyperopia is the clinical name for farsightedness. People with hyperopia have difficulty focusing on items that are close to them, like words in a book. Those with severe cases of hyperopia can also have problems seeing things faraway. Hyperopia usually occurs with advancing age; half of all people over the age of 65 have hyperopia. Back to Top Possible Causes of Hyperopia / Farsightedness Hyperopia is a refractive disorder, which means light rays bend incorrectly in the eye when sending images to the brain. Farsightedness occurs when images focus behind the retina instead of directly on it. A flat cornea or an eyeball that is shorter in length than normal are the causes of hyperopia. Farsightedness, which tends to run in families, is usually present at birth, but some children can outgrow the condition. Back to Top Possible Symptoms of Hyperopia / Farsightedness Symptoms of hyperopia are headaches, inability to focus on objects close-up and eyestrain, especially after working with objects close to the sufferer.

The EyeCare Connection abstracts and answers to commonly asked questions HYPEROPIA (Far-sightedness, Long-sightedness) (hi per oh pee ah) Hyperopia is the refractive condition where the nearest point of focus is located at a point away from the observer. When one is farsighted, near objects may appear blurred as effort must be made to bring even distance objects into clear focus. The are a number of explanations for this optical condition. The eyeball may be too short, causing the image to be focused virtually past or behind the retina at the back of the eye. Or, the focusing lenses of the eye are too weak. The primary focusing lens is the cornea, the clear window at the very front of your eye. The internal lens, called the crystalline lens, in an adjustable lens that alters your focus from distance to near. Sometimes, one of these two lenses may have a rad ius of curvature that is too flat. Although the eye is deficient in focal power, it can sometimes correct for this situation by requiring the internal crystalline lens to add the additional needed power. In small amounts of hyperopia, the eye can compensa te for the refractive error, sometimes quite effectively and other times resulting in eyestrain or headaches. As the level of hyperopia increases, the ability of the vision system to deal with it declines and near objects can not be brought into clear or comfortable focus. At higher levels, even distance vision declines. A factor further complicating the situation is the aging of the human eye. Beginning around age 25 and symptomatic by age 40 , the normal ability of the crystalline lens to add focal power decreases. The compensatory mechanism fails and even small amount s of hyperopia result in blurred near vision, and later blurred distance vision.

Hyperopia What is farsightedness? Farsightedness, or hyperopia, as it is medically termed, is a vision condition in which distant objects are usually seen clearly but close ones are not brought into proper focus. Why does farsightedness occur? If the length of your eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, near objects cannot be brought into a sharp and clearly focused image. Some theorists believe that farsightedness is hereditary and others believe that it may result from environmental factors. How does farsightedness affect vision? If you are farsighted, you involuntarily exert extra effort to maintain clear distance vision and even greater effort to see clearly at close range. This extra effort can cause fatigue, tension and discomfort. If the crystalline lens of the eye cannot bring the object into focus, blurred vision occurs. How common is farsightedness? Many people have some degree of farsightedness. The condition is only a problem if it significantly affects a person's ability to see. It is estimated that over half the people who wear glasses are wearing them because of a focusing problem due to farsightedness or presbyopia, a natural decrease in focusing ability. What are signs/symptoms of farsightedness?

108. Refractive Errors Corrected By LASIK Eye Surgery – Myopia, Hyperopia, Astigmati FYI is an educational resource on refractive errors that can be corrected by laser eye surgery – myopia, or nearsightedness; hyperopia, or farsightedness http://www.lasikfyi.com/refractive_errors.html

Home Research News Glossary ... City LASIK Topics Improve your vision and enhance your life! Excimer Lasers PRK Laser Eye Surgery for Eye Diseases Presbyopia ... LASIK Testimonials LASIK Refractive Errors The three most common refractive errors that can be surgically corrected with LASIK are nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Nearsightedness (Myopia) Nearsightedness or myopia occurs due to an irregularly shaped cornea - when light enters the eye it focuses in front of the retina, rather than directly on the retina. If you are nearsighted you will see well up close, but distant objects will be fuzzy. Farsightedness (Hyperopia) Farsightedness or hyperopia occurs due to an irregularly shaped cornea - when light enters the eye it focuses behind the retina, rather than directly on the retina. If you are farsighted you will have trouble seeing objects up close, but will see distant objects clearly. Astigmatism The most common of all eye disorders, astigmatism occurs when the eye is shaped more like a football than a basketball. This odd shape causes the light to focus on two points of the retina, rather than one.

Hyperopia - longsightedness Long-sighted vision (Hyperopia): A long-sighted, or hyper-metropic eye is shorter than normal. Light rays focus behind the retina, and close objects look blurred. Hyperopic people cannot see distant objects any clearer than people with normal vision.. Indeed, a perfect state of focusing on the retina is unusual, with most people actually being a little hyperopic. A little hyperopia is not a problem because the lens of the eye easily adjusts through altering the focus. However, the greater the hyperopia the harder it is to focus. Close vision may become blurry because the closer the object the more focussing is required. People with hyperopia may suffer from headaches or tired eyes after a lot of close work - even if their vision remains clear. This is often evident in adolescents as the amount of schoolwork, reading and homework increases. Whether or not glasses are required depends on the symptoms that the person experiences. Younger people with slight hyperopia generally have few problems or may be prescribed glasses for reading or for using the computer. People with more severe hyperopia, or older people in which focussing is more difficult, usually need glasses for close work - and occasionally distance vision as well.

The Eye Clinic Structure Information - 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. 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.
