Hyperopia

Hyperopia

Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is an eye disorder that causes near objects to be seen more blurred compared to distant objects. The primary cause of hyperopia is the eye globe being shorter than normal or the cornea being too flat. This condition makes it difficult to focus light on the retina. There are various treatment options available for correcting hyperopia:

1. Glasses or Contact Lenses:

  • One of the most common methods for correcting hyperopia is the use of glasses or contact lenses.
  • Glasses are prescribed with positive (+) diopter lenses. These lenses correct the focal point in the eye and allow for clearer vision of near objects.

2. Laser Refractive Surgery:

  • Laser refractive surgery procedures, such as LASIK (Laser-Assisted Subepithelial Keratomileusis) and PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), can correct hyperopia by changing the shape of the cornea.
  • These methods provide an alternative for individuals who do not wish to wear glasses or lenses.

3. Intraocular Lens Surgery:

  • Phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is a surgical option that corrects hyperopia by inserting an additional lens next to the natural lens.
  • These types of lenses can also be used during cataract surgery in older age.

4. Orthokeratology (Ortho-K):

  • Orthokeratology is a method that temporarily changes the shape of the cornea using specially shaped contact lenses worn overnight.
  • This method can be used to provide clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or lenses.

5. Eye Exercises:

  • Some eye exercises are recommended to strengthen the eye muscles and improve focusing.
  • However, there is no scientific consensus on the effectiveness of these exercises as a treatment to correct hyperopia.

The choice of treatment depends on the individual’s degree of hyperopia, age, overall health condition, and personal preferences. An eye doctor can determine the most suitable treatment option for the individual’s needs. Correcting hyperopia can help improve eye health and visual comfort.
