Farsightedness Refractive

Refractive farsightedness (h. refractiva) is one of the most common refractive conditions of the eye, which is characterized by a violation of the focusing of light on the retina. In medical terminology, it is also known as hypermetropia. People with refractive farsightedness have difficulty seeing objects close to them clearly, while distant objects can be seen relatively clearly.

The cause of refractive farsightedness is the abnormal shape of the eyeball or the incorrect relationship between the length of the eye and the refractive index of the optical media. Typically, an eye suffering from refractive hyperopia has a shorter anterior-posterior axis, which causes the eye's focusing ability to shift behind the retina. This results in blurry and unclear images, especially when reading, writing, or other tasks that require close-up vision.

Symptoms of refractive farsightedness may include difficulty reading, eye fatigue, headaches, or eye strain. Children with refractive farsightedness may also experience learning difficulties and delays in the development of visual skills.

To diagnose refractive farsightedness, a complete eye examination is recommended, including a vision test and eye refraction. An optometrist or ophthalmologist can use various instruments and techniques, such as an autorefractometer and a refractometer, to determine the degree of refractive hyperopia and select appropriate optical aids to correct vision.

Treatment for refractive farsightedness usually involves wearing glasses or contact lenses that compensate for the eye's lack of focusing. Optical aids such as positive lenses increase the refractive power of the eye, which allows light to be focused on the retina. In some cases, especially with a high degree of refractive farsightedness, the doctor may recommend surgery, such as laser vision correction or lens replacement.

In general, refractive hyperopia is a common eye condition that can be successfully corrected through optical aids or surgical procedures. Regular visits to the doctor and an eye examination will help to promptly identify and manage refractive farsightedness, ensuring good vision and improving the patient’s quality of life. If you suspect refractive farsightedness or other vision problems, it is recommended that you consult a qualified physician for advice and diagnosis.

Farsightedness (ametropic hyperopia) is an eye pathology characterized by an increase in the image (or an increase in both the size and strength of curvature) in the front part of the eye due to their reduction in the back part. This condition is transmitted, in addition to the hereditary factor, through congenital defects, untimely correction of refractive pathologies, anomalies in the development of the conductive parts of the visual analyzer, traumatic lesions of the eye with displacement of the vitreous body, combined and dystrophic lesions of the optic nerve fibers, previous inflammation of the choroid, due to general burden of the body. Farsightedness is characterized by the positive optical properties of a straight line directed to the anterior parts of the eye. With normal vision, there is only light of the same high definition, the same degree of clarity as when objects are close to the nose, sometimes requiring a single magnification.
