    Hypermetropia is one of the refractive errors of the eye and makes it easier to see distant objects but makes it difficult to see close objects clearly. This condition is characterized by the optical power of the eye falling behind the retina at the focal point across the eyeball.

    Hypermetropia is usually caused by the eyeball being shorter than normal or the cornea being flatter than normal. In this case, the refractive force in the eye has a focal point further back from the retina. As a result, objects at a distance may appear clearer, while it becomes harder to see at close range.

    Symptoms of hypermetropia include nearsightedness, headache due to excessive strain on the eyes, eye fatigue, blurred vision, and sometimes double vision. Hyperopia may generally be a congenital condition, but it may progress with age.

    Methods used to treat hyperopia include glasses, contact lenses or laser surgery. Glasses or contact lenses combine with a lens that corrects the refractive error, allowing your eyes to focus. Laser surgery can correct hyperopia by changing the shape of the cornea or placing a lens implant.

    Hypermetropia is usually diagnosed during an eye exam and appropriate treatment options are then determined. It is important to have periodic eye exams to protect your eye health and maintain clear vision.

    What are the Hypermetropia Treatment Methods?

    Treatment for hyperopia involves a number of methods to correct the refractive error in the eye and restore clear vision.

    Hyperopia Treatment with Glasses

    Hyperopia is usually corrected with an appropriate eyeglass prescription. Hyperopic people are prescribed glasses with positive (plus) refractive power to enable them to see at a distance and near.

    Hyperopia Treatment with Contact Lenses

    Soft or hard contact lenses can also be used for hyperopia. Contact lenses provide clear vision by correcting refractive error. Toric or multifocal lenses specifically designed for hyperopic people are also available.

    Hyperopia Treatment with Laser Surgery

    Laser surgery has become a popular option to permanently correct hyperopia. Laser surgery procedures such as LASIK and PRK improve the optical power of the eye by changing the shape of the cornea.

    Hypermetropia Treatment with Lens Replacement Surgery

    Another option for treating hyperopia is lens replacement surgery, which involves placing an artificial lens implant inside the eye. This procedure may be called refractive lens exchange (RLE) or phakic intraocular lens implantation (ICL) with lens implant.

    Hyperopia Treatment with Monovision or Monovision Laser Surgery

    Monovision is a method in which one eye is adjusted to see near and the other to see far away. This approach may be an option for treating hyperopia and presbyopia.

    Each treatment option has advantages and disadvantages. It is important to consult with an ophthalmologist to determine the most appropriate treatment option. It is also important to have periodic eye exams to protect your eye health and achieve the best vision.
