Hyperopia

Also called farsightedness, hyperopia is a condition of the eye in which near vision is blurry but distance vision is clear.

Some symptoms may include the following:

• headache especially at the end of the day after prolonged near work

• trouble focusing on nearby objects

• eyestrain

Hyperopia usually occurs due to a short eye ball or a flatter than normal cornea, which is the transparent media on the front of the eye.

We manage hyperopia through prescription glasses and contact lenses, including multifocal contact lenses
