Hypermetropia, Long-Sightedness

Hypermetropia (farsightedness) is an eye condition in which parallel rays of light are focused behind the retina rather than directly on it. This leads to a weakening of the eye's ability to clearly see close objects (weakening of accommodation).

With hypermetropia, due to the fact that the image is focused behind the retina, a person is forced to make additional efforts to focus it on the retina. This can lead to rapid eye fatigue.

In children and young people, mild hyperopia is often compensated for by accommodation and may not affect vision. However, with age, the ability to accommodate decreases, and hypermetropia begins to manifest itself in the form of poor near vision.

To correct hypermetropia, glasses with convex lenses are used, which allow the image to be focused precisely on the retina. The higher the degree of hyperopia, the stronger the lens should be.

Unlike hypermetropia, myopia focuses the image in front of the retina. And with emmetropia - directly on it, which corresponds to normal vision.

Hypermetropia is a condition of the eye where parallel rays of light are focused behind the retina, resulting in impaired accommodation. Farsighted people have hyperopia, and nearsighted people have myopia. Hyperopic lenses can help correct hyperopia and improve vision.

Hypermetropia and farsightedness are eye conditions that we will talk about today. They represent a refractive error, i.e. the ability to correctly refract light rays, which manifests itself upon contact with the cornea. In this case, the light acquires the necessary curvature, as a result of which we see clearly distant objects and are not able to see neighboring small things. Let's try to figure out what kind of glasses these are and how to correct the defect in the form of incorrect refraction.

Hypermetropia is the abnormal curvature of the cornea caused by insufficient curvature of the refractive apparatus of the eye itself. In other words, the eye receives a blurred image of objects located close to them, located at a distance of up to 30 cm. Close things are poorly perceived. Under these conditions, the eyes cannot fully concentrate on a specific image. Glasses suitable for hypermetropia have concave lenses. This structure is responsible for correction aimed
