Hyperopia
More commonly known as farsightedness, hyperopia is a refractive error that impacts your near vision. Not to be confused with nearsightedness, farsightedness means you can see distant objects but have trouble seeing things that are near you.
Hyperopia occurs when the shape of your eye bends, causing passing light to focus behind the retina instead of on top of it. If you’re having trouble with your near vision, schedule an appointment with us to help determine a solution that works for you.
