What is hyperopia?
Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, longsightedness or hypermetropia, is a common – and very treatable – vision problem. People with hyperopia have difficulties focusing on objects up-close, but see clearly in the distance. In some cases, faraway objects may also appear blurred, depending on severity.If you have hyperopia, you have probably been prescribed glasses or contacts to help you see. However, with the many safe and effective eye corrective procedures available today, you can say goodbye to glasses and contacts.
What causes hyperopia?
Hyperopia is a vision defect caused by an inperfection in the eye when the eyeball is too short or the cornea is too flat. Light rays enter the eye and do not converge on the retina, so close-up images appear blurry.
