Search: Hyperopia, or ‘farsightedness’, is a common eye condition. Hyperopia occurs when the light that enters the eye focuses behind the retina . In many cases, the eyeball is to short and so the focal point of light falls behind the retina. The retina is analogous to photographic film in a camera and is located at the back of the eye. People with hyperopia are called ‘farsighted’ because, in many cases, they can see far away but not up close. In reality, however, the situation is much more complicated. Young hyperopic individuals may be able to see well at all distances and not even know they are hyperopic because the lens of the eye can accommodate. In other words, the eye can compensate for modest amounts of hyperopia. However, this ability to compensate is lost with age and so hyperopia is often ‘discovered’ as that person ages. People with hyperopia are at higher risk for certain types of eye conditions, including certain forms of glaucoma Hyperopia can usually be treated with glasses, contacts , or r efractive surgery

What is hyperopia? hyperopia (far-sightedness), myopia (near-sightedness), and astigmatism (distorted vision) are what as know http://www.eyesite.ca/english/public-information/eye-conditions/hyperopia.htm

The Information Service of the Canadian Ophthalmological Society Hyperopia (far-sightedness) What is hyperopia? Hyperopia (far-sightedness), myopia (near-sightedness), and astigmatism (distorted vision) are what as know as refractive errors. For proper eyesight, the cornea (the clear window in front of the eye) and the lens (behind the pupil) must properly focus or "refract" light onto the retina (at the back of the eye). If the length or shape of the eye is not ideal, the light may get focused too early or too late leaving a blurred image on the retina. Hyperopia, or far-sightedness, is the ability to clearly see objects at a distance but not those up close. Causes and symptoms Like near-sightedness, far-sightedness is usually an inherited condition. Young children tend to be hyperopic to some degree although the severity lessens and they age and the eye grows and becomes longer. Children with far-sightedness can often see both distant and close objects because the youthful strength of their lenses can often overcome the shortness of the eye. Non-visual signs such as headaches or a lack of interest in reading may be signs of a high degree of hyperopia. Treatment Treatment is not necessary for children with a small amount of hyperopia where no symptoms are evident. Those with more severe cases or crossed eyes are best treated with eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Refractive errors are seen in 20 percent of children. The following are the most common refractive errors, all of which affect vision and may require corrective lenses: astigmatism - Astigmatism is a condition in which an abnormal curvature of the cornea can cause two focal points to fall in two different locations making objects up close and at a distance appear blurry. Astigmatism may cause eye strain and also may be combined with nearsightedness or farsightedness. Astigmatism can start in childhood or in adulthood. Some symptoms include headache, eye strain, and/or fatigue. Eye rubbing and head tilt or turn are sometimes noted. If correction is needed, vision tends to be sharper and more consistent with spectacles than contact lenses. hyperopia - Commonly known as farsightedness, hyperopia is the refractive error in which an image of a distant object becomes focused behind the retina, either because the eyeball axis is too short, or because the refractive power of the object is too weak. This condition makes close objects appear out of focus and may cause headaches, eye strain, and/or fatigue. Squinting, eye rubbing, lack of interest in school, and difficulty in reading are often seen in children with hyperopia. Eyeglasses or contact lenses may help to correct or improve hyperopia by adjusting the focusing power to the retina. Often times, a correction with spectacles for near activities is warranted.

EYE HEALTH 101 Vision Correction DOCTOR LOCATOR KIDS ZONE EDUCATORS EYE HEALTH 101 ... Eye Health 101 :: Vision Correction Refractive Errors Refractive Errors About 120 million people in the United States wear eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct myopia (nearighted), hyperopia (farsighted) or astigmatism . These vision problemscalled refractive errors affect the cornea and are the most common of all vision problems in this country. Hyperopia/farsighted A condition in which visual images come to a focus behind the retina of the eye and vision is better for distant than for near objects; may be due to a cornea which is too steep and/or an eyeball which is too short. Myopia/nearsighted A condition in which visual images come to a focus in front of the retina of the eye and vision is better for near than for far objects; may be due to a cornea which is too flat and/or an eyeball which is too long. Astigmatism Astigmatism is a condition in which the uneven curvature of the cornea blurs and distorts both distant and near objects. A normal cornea is round, with even curves from side to side and top to bottom. With astigmatism, the cornea is shaped more like the back of a spoon, curved more in one direction than in another. This causes light rays to have more than one focal point and focus on two separate areas of the retina, distorting the visual image. Two-thirds of Americans with myopia also have astigmatism. During an eye exam, an eye doctor can diagnose these problems and recommend the proper correction, which may include prescription eyewear.

Contact Us Guide to Common Eye Disorders Hyperopia When the curve of the cornea (the clear round tissue at the front of the eye) is just right, light entering the eye comes to a focus right on the retina, producing sharp, clear vision. When the cornea curve is too flat, however, light focuses somewhere behind the retina, making objects near and far appear out of focus. This is the condition known as hyperopia, or farsightedness. The normal treatment for hyperopia is prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses. For some people, farsightedness can be corrected through refractive surgery.

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.
