Home The Association State Divisions National Council ... Refractive errors Hyperopia What is hyperopia? The eye's lens and cornea focus light into an image on the retina, just as a camera lens focuses light on to a film. In a resting hyperopic (longsighted) eye, the light is focused behind the retina and so the image is blurred. The perfect state of focusing exactly on the retina is unusual; the average person is a little hyperopic. How does hyperopia affect vision? A little hyperopia is not a problem because the lens compensates easily but if there is a significant amount of hyperopia, the effort of focusing (called accommodation) can lead to symptoms. A hyperopic person can have normal vision but the greater the hyperopia, the harder it is to focus. Vision may become blurry, especially for close objects, because the closer the object the more focusing is required. Hyperopic people may get tired eyes or headaches after a lot of visual work, even if their vision is clear. Reading is more difficult and school work can be affected. What causes hyperopia?

myopia hyperopia astigmatism presbyopia which refractive ... error do I have? HYPEROPIA [hiper-, excessive+ opi, vision] Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is usually inherited. Approximately %25 of the general population is hyperopic (a person having hyperopia). In hyperopia light rays from a distant object converge and focus on the retina. But diverging rays from a near object can't converge sufficiently and therefore they focus beyond the retina. Hyperopic eye can see distant objects well, but near objects blurry. In theory hyperopia is the inability to focus and see the close objects clearly, but in practice many young hyperopics can compensate the weakness of their focusing ability by excessive use of the accommodation functions of their eyes. But older hyperopics are not as lucky as them. By aging, accommodation range diminishes and for older hyperopics seeing close objects becomes an impossible mission. Also for people with advanced hyperopia, including young people, the accommodation mechanism is not sufficient and they need spectacles, or a laser vision correction procedure. Unfortunately, people with advanced hyperopia, may even suffer from both close and distant vision problems. There are 3 types of hyperopia.

Research Studies :: College Research :: Research Overview Faculty Correction of Hyperopia in Children Study (CHICS) What is hyperopia? Hyperopia is often called farsightedness. Children who are farsighted need to exert more effort in order to see clearly. As a result, they may not be able to see as well at near. It can also cause children to have difficulty concentrating, blurred vision, eyestrain, fatigue and/or headaches with close work. How common is farsightedness? Moderate to high hyperopia affects approximately one in six school-aged children. What causes farsightedness? Farsightedness occurs if your eye is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, so light entering your eye is not focused correctly. What is the Correction of Hyperopia In Children Study (CHICS)? There is controversy regarding whether or not it is necessary to treat moderate amounts of farsightedness in children. The Correction of Hyperopia In Children Study is being conducted so that eye doctors can learn more about hyperopia and how best to treat it. Approximately 80 children will take part in the study at several pediatric eye care centers in the United States. Who can participate?

SIGHT DISORDERS HYPEROPIA MYOPIA ASTIGMATISM ... PRESBYOPIA Hyperopia is the technical term for farsightedness. A hyperopic eye doesn't have enough power to focus light precisely on the retina. Either the cornea or the lens doesn't have enough curvature, or the eye is too short for light to be focused appropriately. In a farsighted eye, light from a near object is focused behind the retina. By using a converging meniscus spectacle lens, the image is focused on the retina. The term accommodation refers to the way the eye muscle and lens work together to focus on something nearby. Farsighted people use this same accommodative system to compensate for their lack of focusing power, in order to see at a distance. When farsighted people try to read, however, they must focus for their hyperopia as well as for the reading distance - an effort that requires significantly more eye muscle power. For farsighted people, then, vision is relatively clearer at a long distance than up close, because it taks less muscular effort. For someone who is extremely farsighted, the world really is blurry at all distances.

76. The Imperfect Eye hyperopia (farsightedness) means that the near vision of a person is blurred In hyperopia, near objects are blurry because the images focus behind the http://library.thinkquest.org/28030/wrong.htm

The Imperfect Eye Like any other part of the body, the eye grows, works, tires, and ages. It can be injured. It can become diseased. The cornea, the clear part of the eye on the surface bends 10-80% of the incoming light into the eye. The lens, located inside the eye behind the cornea, is responsible for the focusing and bends 20-30% of the incoming light. The eye length, from front to back, can also affect where the light focuses. However, most vision problems are not diseases but refractive errors. These are minor flaws in the way the eye is built that causes it to focus incorrectly. Refractive errors tend to be inherited, but there is no pattern of inheritance. Size of the eyeball, shape of the cornea, shape of the lens, and the depth of the anterior chamber are all variables in refractive errors. These variables increase the possible ocular combinations for refractive errors. The following are some common refractive errors: Myopia Hyperopia Myopia Introduction Myopia (near-sightedness)means that the distance vision of a person is blurred but the close vision is still good ( except in high degrees of myopia ). In myopia, distant objects are blurry because the images focus in front of the retina, instead of on it. Myopia affects those mostly between the ages of 10 and 40. Beyond 45 years of age myopia tends to decrease. Light focused in front of the flasks' 'retina' The unit value used to measure the degree of myopia is called Diopters which relates to the power of the spectacle lenses used to correct it. For comparison purposes the average myopic person is approximately - 3.00 diopters ( minus refers to myopia ) The higher the negative number, the higher the degree of myopia.

DOCTORS LOCATIONS THE EYE VISION CORRECTION ... LINKS AND CREDITS Hyperopia (Far Sightedness) Hyperopia is also known as "farsigtedness." It usually means that one has better distant vision than near vision. It is very common. In fact, the majority of the United States population is farsighted. Hyperopia tends to mostly affect the young under 10 years old and people age 45 and above. The condition is characterized by an eye that is too short in length, or where the front of the corneal curvature is too weak. The eye has three components that determine focusing behavior. The first and strongest component is the cornea. It is the clear part of the eye on the front surface. It's responsible for between 70% and 80% of focus in the eye. The second focusing component of the eye is the lens. It's located inside the eye behind the cornea. It is responsible for bending, or focusing, the light 20%-30%. The third component in light focusing is the length of the eye. It is the least significant factor. If the eye is too short, it can cause farsightedness. If the eye is too long, it can cause nearsightedness (myopia) Most people can automatically compensate for their hyperopia by focusing more with their lens. However, this constant compensation often causes difficulty in reading or computer work. This is termed "eye strain" and can be relieved with lenses to compensate for the hyperopia.
