Far-Sightedness, Also Known As Long-Sightedness and Hyperopia, Is A Condition of The

Far-sightedness, also known as long-sightedness or hyperopia, is a condition where light focuses behind the retina causing close objects to appear blurry while distant objects seem clear. It is caused by imperfections in the eye such as the eyeball being too short or the lens not being able to become round enough. Correction is usually achieved through convex corrective lenses, and it primarily affects young children, with rates of 8% at age 6 and 1% at age 15.

Far-sightedness, also known as long-sightedness and hyperopia, is a condition of the eye in

which light is focused behind, instead of on, the retina.[2] This causes close objects to be blurry,
while far objects may appear normal.[2] As the condition worsens, objects at all distances may be
blurred.[2] Other symptoms may include headaches and eye strain.[2] People with hyperopia can
also experience accommodative dysfunction, binocular dysfunction, amblyopia, and strabismus,
[3]

The cause is an imperfection in the eye: often when the eyeball is too short, or the lens cannot
become round enough.[4] It is a type of refractive error.[2]
Correction is usually achieved by the use of convex corrective lenses. For near objects, the eye
has to accommodate even more. Depending on the degree of hyperopia and the age of the person,
which directly relates to the eye's accommodative ability, the symptoms can be different.[1]
Far-sightedness primarily affects young children, with rates of 8% at 6 years and 1% at 15 years.
