What is Hyperopia?

Description of the disease

Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is a type of vision impairment in which it is harder for a person to see close objects than distant ones.

Classification

• Simple hyperopia
• Compound hyperopia

Symptoms

• Blurry vision when reading or looking at close objects
• Headaches and fatigue with prolonged eye strain

Causes

The main cause of hyperopia is a deviation of the anatomical parameters of the eye, causing the focal point of light rays to fall behind the retina.

Diagnosis

To diagnose hyperopia, it is necessary to consult an ophthalmologist for an examination. It is important to have a fundus examination and measure visual acuity.

Treatment

Treatment for hyperopia may include wearing glasses or contact lenses, as well as the possibility of surgical intervention in severe cases.

Prevention

To prevent the development of hyperopia, it is important to properly allocate time between computer work and rest, as well as regularly check your vision with an ophthalmologist.

Doctor

If symptoms of hyperopia appear, it is necessary to consult an ophthalmologist for consultation and further treatment.
