What Is Hyperopia (Farsightedness)?
Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is a refractive error
that results from a disorder rather than from a disease. A refractive error means that the shape of your eye does not bend light correctly, resulting in a blurred image. Hyperopia usually is inherited and children who are hyperopic often become less hyperopic as adults.

hypermetropia
1. •The term hypermetropia is derived from hyper meaning “In excess” met meaning “measure” & opia meaning “of the eye”.• Also called hyperopia / longsightedness
Hypermetropia (long-sightedness) is a common eye condition where nearby objects appear blurred, but your vision is clearer when looking at things further away.

Hyperopia occurs when the image formed by the focusing mechanism of the eye is “behind” the retina. This often occurs if an eye is shorter than average.
Treatment and Drugs
Hyperopia is commonly treated using corrective lenses, such as eyeglasses or contact lenses. Refractive surgery may be able to correct some forms of hyperopia.
