Hypermetropia: Causes, Symptoms, Daignosis, Prevention and Treatment

Hypermetropia

• Hypermetropia is an eye problem that causes
  blurry vision when focusing on nearby places and
  objects, but clear vision is there when focusing
  at a greater distance. The condition is caused by
  an eye that is shorter than normal, or a cornea
  that's not as curved as it should be.Eyes that
  are little misshapen won't be able to focus light
  accurately onto the retina, which results in
  blurred vision. There are several kinds of
  irregular shapes than an eye can take, each
  moving the focal point of the light away from the
  retina, resulting in a different form of vision
  impairment.

• When the shape of an eye aims light in front of
  the retina, the resulting condition is called
  myopia, or nearsightedness. A focal point behind
  the retina is called hyperopia.
• Corrective lenses are available for both
  conditions, and are designed to move the focal
  point to the surface of the retina, restoring
  clear and focused eyesight.

The causes of hypermetropia

• Somehow hypermetropia is hereditary, but can
  develop in anyone. It is possible to experience
  symptoms even during childhood, but is much more
  common later in life.In fact, anyone above the
  age of 40 has a much greater chance of having
  symptoms of hyperopia, with the likelihood
  growing every year.Aging does not necessarily
  cause the eyes to change shape any more, but it
  does diminish the eyes ability to flex enough to
  accommodate for the refractive error.
  Additionally, some forms of hyperopia can be
  caused by injury, drugs, or disease.

• It's common for farsightedness to be confused
  with presbyopia. Both of the conditions have
  similar results - difficulty focussing on objects
  that are near - but they have different causes.

What are the Symptoms of Hypermetropia?

• Everything may seem clear and in focus when
  viewing at a distance more than a few meters
  away, but any closer than that and things may
  start to get blurry. The closer they get, the
  less focused they become.As it becomes more
  difficult to read and write, squinting will cause
  eye strain and fatigue, leading to headaches.

How is Hypermetropia Detected and Treated?

• Farsightedness is not usually diagnosed in basic
  eye-screenings because those tests only measure
  the ability to see objects in the distance.If
  an individual is found to be farsighted, a more
  comprehensive optometrist examination should be
  carried out to diagnose the condition.Corrective
  eyeglasses, contact lenses, and even surgery can
  all help to restore clear and focused
  eyesight.Each has their own advantages and
  disadvantages, though, and lifestyle, work
  environment, and personal preference all play a
  role in deciding which is best. You should
  discuss with your eye care professional which one
  is right for you.

• Eyeglasses are inexpensive and effective, but not
  always convenient. If you have an active
  lifestyle, or play sports, it may be difficult to
  keep them firmly in place. They come in many
  different shapes and sizes, and can be quite
  fashionable. Tinted lenses are also available,
  allowing you to stay protected from bright
  sunlight and damaging UV rays.
• Contact Lenses are much more subtle, providing no
  change in your personal appearance at all.
  They're designed to be worn all day long, and
  removed at night. Several types of lenses can be
  worn for varying lengths of time. With proper
  hygiene and some practice, contact lenses are one
  of the more versatile options for people looking
  for corrective eye wear.

• Surgery is also an option - LASIK and PRK are the
  two examples of surgical methods that reshape the
  surface of the eye, allowing it to refract light
  accurately without any need for corrective
  lenses. This is a more expensive method of fixing
  the problem, but it's also more permanent. The
  recovery time is usually only a few days, but
  only one eye is corrected at a time, so multiple
  visits will be required.
• For mild cases of hypermetropia, you may only
  need to wear your corrective lenses when doing
  tasks at close range - such as reading or using a
  computer.Those who have more severe
  hypermetropia, or who suffer from other
  conditions like astigmatism, may need to wear
  their lenses more often.
