Hyperopia Condition

Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, which is a common vision problem that can be treated at our optometry office in League City, TX.

What is Hyperopia?

Hyperopia is a refractive error that occurs when the eye is shorter than normal or the cornea is flatter than normal, causing light to focus behind the retina instead of directly on it. This can result in blurry vision, especially when looking at close objects.

Causes of Hyperopia

Hyperopia can be hereditary or can develop as a result of aging. It can also be caused by certain medical conditions or medications.

Symptoms of Hyperopia

The symptoms of hyperopia can vary from person to person and can include:

Blurred vision, especially when looking at close objects

Eyestrain or discomfort

Headaches

Difficulty focusing on near objects

Squinting

Diagnosing Hyperopia

Hyperopia can be diagnosed during a comprehensive eye exam by an optometrist. This exam may involve a visual acuity test, a refraction test, and a slit-lamp examination to examine the front of the eye.

Treating Hyperopia

Hyperopia can be corrected through various treatments, including:

Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses: Corrective lenses are a common and effective treatment for hyperopia. Eyeglasses and contact lenses can adjust the way that light enters the eye, allowing for clear vision.

Refractive Surgery: LASIK and other types of refractive surgery can reshape the cornea to correct hyperopia. This can be a good option for people who do not want to rely on eyeglasses or contact lenses.
