In people with healthy and normal vision, the rays coming into the eye from outside focus on the fovea (yellow spot) and create a clear image. In individuals with <\/span>hyperopic<\/span><\/strong> defect, these rays are collected in the back part of the fovea\/retina instead of the fovea, depending on various factors.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main reason why these rays collect behind the retina is explained as the eyeball being smaller than normal or the lens surface of the cornea not having enough power to refract light. <\/span>Hyperopia<\/span><\/strong> , a disorder that can be seen in both adults and children and infants, is an eye condition that can be treated.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Hypermetropia?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hypermetropia can be explained as an <\/span><\/strong><\/span>eye defect<\/span><\/strong> that occurs when the rays refracted by the cornea (the front layer of the eye) and the eye lens fall on the area behind the retina . As a result of this situation, the image on the retina is blurred. In <\/span>hyperopic<\/span><\/strong> eyes, either the front-back length of the eye is shorter than normal, or the lens or cornea does not have enough light refractive power, or both conditions occur together.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Hypermetropia<\/span><\/strong> , one of the most common eye defects , is generally known as <\/span>nearsightedness<\/span><\/strong> but also causes problems in distance vision. In <\/span>low-grade hyperopia<\/span><\/strong> , individuals generally adapt to distant vision and no problems arise in distant vision. However, they may have difficulty seeing up close. In <\/span>high-grade hyperopia<\/span><\/strong> , it will be difficult to see far away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who Gets Hypermetropia?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The majority of babies are born with their eye development not yet complete. For this reason, they are born with <\/span>mild hyperopia<\/span><\/strong> . <\/span>Hypermetropia<\/span><\/strong> , which tends to increase until about the age of 7 , begins to decrease after the age of 7 and disappears with the completion of the developmental processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, in some people, <\/span>the hyperopia problem<\/span><\/strong> does not disappear and continues. If necessary treatments are not performed, it may also cause the development of eye diseases such as <\/span>amblyopia<\/span><\/strong> or <\/span>strabismus .<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The eye’s adaptability is high, especially during childhood and adolescence. People do not have any problems with <\/span>seeing far away<\/span><\/strong> due to this ability of the eye. There is even a possibility that there may be no problems with near vision from time to time.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, with advancing age, especially in the 40s, the natural lens in the eye begins to seriously lose its flexibility due to the decrease in the elastin fibers in it. The natural lens, which loses its flexibility, also loses its adaptability that allows us to see up close more easily. As a result, <\/span>hyperopic people begin to experience <\/span><\/strong><\/span>blurred vision,<\/span><\/strong> both near and far , more clearly.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/span>It is very important for children to have regular eye examinations in order to make an early diagnosis of amblyopia<\/span><\/strong><\/a> that may be caused by hyperopia<\/strong> . Detection of amblyopia, <\/span>hyperopia<\/span><\/strong> or other eye defects can be achieved through these regular examinations.<\/span><\/p>\n

During these examinations, it may be necessary to apply drops to the eye in order to make a more accurate measurement. Examination using drops is preferred, especially in young children, children with <\/span>eye misalignment , and people with hypermetropia in one eye.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What are the symptoms of hyperopia?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the most common symptoms of hyperopia<\/span><\/strong> , regardless of age, is difficulties in seeing up close. As <\/span>the degree of hypermetropia increases, vision problems occur at long distances. <\/span><\/strong><\/span>The most common symptoms of hyperopia<\/span><\/strong> can be listed as follows;<\/span><\/p>\n
