Farsightedness occurs if your eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, so light entering your eye is not focused correctly. Common signs of farsightedness include difficulty in concentrating and maintaining a clear focus on near objects, eye strain, fatigue and/or headaches after close work, aching or burning eyes, irritability or nervousness after sustained concentration. Common vision screenings, often done in schools, are generally ineffective in detecting farsightedness. A comprehensive optometric examination will include testing for farsightedness.

Hyperopia or Farsightedness What is Hyperopia? Hyperopia is a refractive error where people are able to see distant objects clearly but objects up close seem blurry. People with hyperopia tend to have eye strains, headaches from trouble reading, eye fatigue from focusing on objects up close. There are several treatments for hyperopia including eyeglasses contact lenses , and eye surgery Causes of Hyperopia Hyperopia occurs because the eyeball is shorter than normal. This causes the image to focus behind the retina rather that on it. People with hyperopia can see distant objects fine but performing task like reading, sewing, or typing on the computer can become a hassle. Treatments for Hyperopia People with hyperopia often squint when working with objects up close. This allows them to see better as a different amount of light is refracted. Like treatments for myopia , treatments for hyperopia are designed to refract a correct amount of light into the eyes through either corrective lenses or reshaping of the cornea through surgical and non-surgical methods. At a young age, depending on the degree of hyperopia, eyeglasses or contacts are usually the first option. They are usually worn only when working with objects that require close up focus. Refractive surgery like

Hyperopia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Hyperopia Hyperopia , also known as hypermetropia or colloquially as farsightedness or longsightedness , is a defect of vision caused by an imperfection in the eye (often when the eyeball is too short), causing inability to focus on near objects, and in extreme cases causing a sufferer to be unable to focus on objects at any distance . As an object moves towards the eye, the eye must increase its power to keep the image on the retina. If the power of the cornea and lens is insufficient, as in hypermetropia, the image will appear blurred. It is corrected by using eyeglasses with lenses of positive curvature magnifying glasses).

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Farsightedness is the result of the visual image being focused behind the retina rather than directly on it. It may be caused by the eyeball being too small or the focusing power being too weak. Farsightedness is often present from birth, but children can compensate with their stronger eye muscles. Most children outgrow the condition. As aging occurs, glasses or contact lenses may be required to correct the vision. If you have family members who are farsighted, you are also more likely to become farsighted.
