Hyperopia
Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is a common refractive error where distant objects are seen more clearly than nearby objects due to the eye’s focusing power.
- Blurry close-up vision
- Eye strain and fatigue when reading or doing close work
- Difficulty with tasks that require close attention, such as sewing or using a computer
A comprehensive eye exam will reveal the extent of hyperopia. A refraction test determines the degree of farsightedness.
Refractive surgeries like LASIK or PRK can reshape the cornea to correct hyperopia. Eyeglasses or contact lenses are also common treatments.
Following refractive surgery for hyperopia, patients may experience improved near vision and may no longer need corrective lenses for distance vision. There may be some temporary discomfort during recovery.
Hyperopia is a common refractive error that can be effectively corrected through various treatments. Consult with an eye specialist to determine the best solution for your individual needs.
