Ask the Expert Hyperopia (Farsightedness) Definition Symptoms Treatment Clinic Information Definition Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is usually inherited. Children are often hyperopic which may lessen as an adult. Hyperopia is a refractive error, which results from a disorder rather than from disease. A refractive error means that the shape of your eye does not bend light correctly, resulting in a blurred image. Symptoms Blurred vision Difficulty seeing objects up close Crossing of the eyes in children ( Esotropia The symptoms described above may not necessarily mean that you have hyperopia. However, if you experience one or more of these symptoms, contact your eye doctor for a complete exam.

Conditions Home Macular Degeneration Diabetic Retinopathy Dry Eye Syndrome ... Services Search Selected by the sciLINKS program, a service of National Science Teachers Association. Treatment 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. Illustration by Mark Erickson 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)

Hyperopia (Farsightedness) By Judith Lee and Gretchyn Bailey ; reviewed by Dr. Vance Thompson Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is a common vision problem, affecting about a fourth of the population. People with hyperopia can see distant objects very well, but have difficulty seeing objects that are up close. Hyperopia Symptoms and Signs Farsighted people sometimes have headaches or eyestrain, and may squint or feel fatigued when performing work at close range. If you get these symptoms while wearing your glasses or contact lenses, you may need an eye exam and a new prescription. What Causes Hyperopia? This vision problem occurs when light rays entering the eye focus behind the retina , rather than directly on it. The eyeball of a farsighted person is shorter than normal. Many children are born with hyperopia, and some of them "outgrow" it as the eyeball lengthens with normal growth. The hyperopic eye is shorter than normal. Incoming light focuses behind, instead of on, the retina. See animation. Near objects look blurry to farsighted people. Sometimes people confuse hyperopia with presbyopia , which also is a difficulty in seeing up close, but has a different cause.

CK: Non-Invasive Eye Surgery for Hyperopia and Presbyopia By Frank Celia ; revised by Marilyn Haddrill ; reviewed by Dr. Vance Thompson Conductive keratoplasty (CK) is a relatively new type of refractive surgery that uses mild heat from radio waves to shrink the glue-like connective tissue (collagen) in the periphery of the cornea . This steepens the cornea, giving farsighted patients with presbyopia better near and distance vision while improving near vision for patients with presbyopia alone. If you are nearsighted, CK is not for you (at least not at this time), although expanded indications such as for astigmatism correction are being studied. Better surgical techniques and technology now address earlier problems with CK in that some corneas had a tendency to revert to original states and vision corrections failed to remain stable (regression). With recent clinical studies revealing more stable results, CK is gaining wider acceptance among eye surgeons and patients. Long-term data ultimately will determine whether CK's results will be comparable to other vision correction procedures such as LASIK Learn About Local LASIK Surgeons: Choose your area CANADA EUROPE MIDDLE EAST ALABAMA Huntsville ARIZONA Phoenix CALIFORNIA Lancaster/Santa Clarita Los Angeles Oakland/East Bay Orange County Sacramento San Diego San Francisco San Jose/South Bay Ventura COLORADO Boulder Colorado Springs Denver CONNECTICUT Fairfield Hartford New Haven

Highlights General Info about Hyperopia Hyperopia or Long sightedness, is a common vision problem, affecting almost a fourth of the population. People with hyperopia can see distant objects clearly but have difficulty seeing objects that are near. Long sightedness or hyperopia, occurs if a persons eyeball is too short or when the cornea is too flat when compared to the normal eye. The light entering the eye focuses behind the retina, instead of directly on it hence close objects look blurred. Young people with mild to moderate hyperopia are often able to see clearly because their eyes can adjust, or accommodate to increase the eye's focusing ability. However, at later years the eye gradually loses the ability to accommodate and blurred vision becomes more apparent.
