Hyperopia | Innova ocular
What is hyperopia?
Hyperopia (longsightedness) is a vision problem where the eye is shorter than normal.
In a hyperopic eye images are focused behind the retina, meaning that the image that reaches the retina and is received by the brain is defective, causing blurred, impaired vision of near objects, although above a certain age the patient may also have difficulty focusing on distant objects.
Symptoms
The most obvious symptom is blurred vision, which is quite common in children, as the eye is shorter than normal at this age.
In adults a high degree of hyperopia will mean that they see things blurred, especially close-up. With a low degree of hyperopia distance vision will be good, although they will strain to focus, which can cause headaches./p>
