Results for tag: "Hyperopia"

Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is a refractive error of the eye in which distant objects are seen more clearly than those that are near. It is caused by the eye being too short or the cornea having too little curvature. This results in light rays focusing behind the retina instead of directly on it. Symptoms of hyperopia include difficulty focusing on near objects, eyestrain, headaches, and squinting. Treatment for hyperopia includes corrective lenses such as glasses or contact lenses, as well as refractive surgery. The optical market for hyperopia is a large and growing one, with a variety of products and services available to meet the needs of those with the condition.
