Hyperopia Treatment

Comprehensive Hyperopia Treatment at Aktif International Hospitals

Hyperopia, commonly known as farsightedness, is a refractive error of the eye that affects the ability to see objects up close. It occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea is too flat, causing light rays to focus behind the retina instead of directly on it. Hyperopia can lead to blurry vision, eye strain, headaches, and difficulty focusing on close-up tasks. At Aktif International Hospitals, we offer comprehensive hyperopia treatment options provided by experienced ophthalmologists to improve vision clarity and enhance overall quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hyperopia, and what are its symptoms?

Hyperopia is a common refractive error of the eye that affects the ability to see objects up close. It occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea is too flat, causing light rays to focus behind the retina instead of directly on it. Symptoms of hyperopia may include:

Blurry vision, especially when viewing close-up objects
Difficulty reading or performing tasks at close range
Eye strain or discomfort
Headaches, especially after prolonged periods of near work
Squinting or straining to see clearly

How is hyperopia diagnosed?

Hyperopia is diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination conducted by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. The examination may include:

Visual acuity testing: Assessing the clarity of vision at various distances using an eye chart.
Refraction test: Determining the degree of refractive error and prescribing corrective lenses to improve vision.
Retinal examination: Evaluating the health of the retina, optic nerve, and other structures inside the eye using specialized instruments.
Pupil dilation: Widening the pupil with eye drops to allow for a more thorough examination of the retina and optic nerve.

What are the treatment options for hyperopia?

Hyperopia can be corrected through various treatment options, including:

Eyeglasses: Prescription eyeglasses with convex lenses can effectively correct hyperopia by refocusing light rays onto the retina, improving vision clarity for both near and distant objects.
Contact lenses: Soft or rigid gas permeable contact lenses can be prescribed to correct hyperopia and provide clear vision without the need for eyeglasses. Contact lenses may be preferred for cosmetic reasons or for individuals with active lifestyles.
Refractive surgery: Procedures such as LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) or PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) may be recommended to permanently reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors, including hyperopia. Refractive surgery offers the potential for long-term vision improvement and reduced dependence on corrective lenses.
Implantable lenses: Intraocular lenses (IOLs) may be surgically implanted inside the eye to correct hyperopia in individuals who are not candidates for LASIK or PRK. Implantable lenses offer a permanent solution for refractive error correction and may be suitable for individuals with high degrees of hyperopia or thin corneas.
