long sightedness (hyperopia)
Long
Sightedness (Hyperopia)Hyperopia occurs when the eye is too short or the cornea too flat to focus the light precisely on the retina. Instead, the light is focused on a point behind the retina which results in poor near-vision eg. Poor reading. This is also known as long-sightedness or far-sightedness.
We can use various means to correct hyperopia:
- Glasses/Spectacles
- Contact lenses
- LASIK (Laser in situ keratomileusis)
- PRK (Photo refractive keratectomy)
- IOL (Intra ocular contact lens implants)
- CLE (Clear lens extraction)
