Often, far-off objects are blurry as well. Farsightedness, or hyperopia, 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. 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.

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. Treatment Hyperopia is commonly treated using corrective lenses , such as eyeglasses or contact lenses. Refractive surgery may be able to correct some forms of hyperopia.

Farsightedness - Hyperopia An overview on this disorder, also called farsightedness by St. Luke's Cataract Conditions and Diseases Eye Disorders hyperopia......Farsightedness or hyperopia, occurs when light entering the eye focuses behindthe retina, instead of directly on it. Farsightedness (hyperopia). Overview. http://www.stlukeseye.com/farsightedness.htm

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. 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) Crossed eyes in children Detection and Diagnosis Hyperopia is detected with a vision test called a refraction. Young patients’ eyes are dilated for this test so they are unable to mask their farsightedness with accommodation. This is called a wet refraction.

4. COS - Hyperopia What is hyperopia? hyperopia (farsightedness), myopia (near-sightedness), and astigmatism (distorted vision) are what 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.

With Hyperopia, or Farsightedness, the eye is not powerful enough to focus light rays reflected off viewed objects onto the retina. The light rays travel to a point focus in imaginary space behind the Retina and the result is a blurred image. People who are farsighted usually have difficulty seeing near objects and in some cases may be so farsighted that distance objects also appear blurry.

This changes the shape of the cornea, giving farsighted patients better vision. If you are nearsighted, CK and LTK are not for you. The main advantage of CK and LTK is that they are non-invasive. They do not involve knives or lasers cutting into ocular tissue, nor is any instrument inserted into the eye. Therefore, they tend to create fewer surgical complications than other refractive procedures. However, their disadvantage is that in many cases the cornea changes back to its former shape, thus nullifying the vision correction. This is called "regression." Studies have shown that CK, a newer technique, poses less risk of regression than LTK. Data presented by the designer of CK indicates that it carries no more risk of regression than other refractive surgeries, but it is too early to be sure about this claim.

Hyperopia Vision Conditions Farsightedness, or hyperopia , as it is medically termed, is a vision condition in which distant objects are usually seen clearly, but close ones do not come into proper focus. 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. In mild cases of farsightedness, your eyes may be able to compensate without corrective lenses. In other cases, your optometrist can prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses to optically correct farsightedness by altering the way the light enters your eyes.

HYPEROPIA - FARSIGHTEDNESS Farsightedness, or hyperopia, as it is medically termed, is a vision condition in which distant objects are usually seen clearly, but close ones do not come into proper focus. In mild cases of farsightedness, your eyes may have been able to compensate without corrective lenses. A person with hyperopia is able to see objects at a distance, but has trouble with objects up close, like books or newspapers. Many people are not diagnosed with hyperopia without a complete eye exam. hyperopic vision Farsightedness occurs if your eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, so light entering your eye is not focused correctly. The cornea and the lens work together to focus images from the visual world on the back of the eye (the retina). If an image is out of focus, it is typically because the overall shape of the eye is incorrect or the cornea does not have the proper curvature. Farsightedness or hyperopia occurs when the eye is too small or the cornea is too flat. When this happens, visual images are focused behind the retina.

Hyperopia Home What is Hyperopia or Far-sightness? Hyperopia or farsighted is a condition in which the eyes must focus to see at a distance. The image falls behind the eye. The hyperopic eye can see clearly at distance or near if he/she has adequate focusing ability. The focusing ability decreases from age 20 to 60. Thus, a patient with hyperopia will first need reading glasses and eventually bifocals or progressive glasses If I See All Right Why Do I Need Glasses? The guy upstairs realized that when ever we look at near the eyes must do two things; focus (accommodate to make the object clear) and converge (align or aim our eyes at the target we are looking at). Therefore, he linked the systems together. Accommodation automatically results in convergence. This normally works correctly. At distance no focusing nor convergence is used, but at near both accommodation and convergence are used. Mild amounts of hyperopia are easily overcome by the focusing mechanism of the eye. However, if the amount of hyperopia is significant two things will happen; first the eyes will use excessive effort to keep the images clear at distance and the excessive accommodation will cause the eyes to over-converge. This over-convergence may result in muscle fatigue or double vision Thus, hyperopia does not always cause blurred vision it may cause eye strain or an eye turn. Up close the condition is even more significant. Hyperopia is correlated with ocular fatigue and learning disorders. Thus, glasses should be prescribed to take a load off the eyes.
