Hypermetropia is an increased refractive power of the eye with normal or abnormal corneal curvature. The hypermetropic eye is able to see distant objects much better. Such an eye easily focuses vision into the distance, while seeing objects up close requires additional effort.
Symptoms of hypermetropia:
Refraction of the eye is the refraction of light inside the eye. Refraction is determined not by the quality of the tissue, but by the curvature of the surface of the cornea and vitreous body of the eyeball. The refractive ability of the eyeball largely depends on its shape and the structure of the lens. A healthy eye has three important refractive elements: the spherical cornea, the vitreous body, which is a lenticular lens, and the lens inside the eye called the lens. Any of these elements may have variations that affect the eye's ability to focus light: it may refract more or less than desired, thereby impairing the eye's ability to see clearly. And if it were all very simple, it would be possible to correct the disorder in each eye with the right lenses. In fact, everything is complicated by the presence of several types of refraction of the eye, which we will talk about.
Hypermetropia (hyperopic astigmatism) is one of the most common refractions of the eye, in which rays are refracted more strongly than required to obtain a clear image on the retina. This eye condition is characteristic primarily of young people, and is associated with the growth of the eyeball too quickly due to the growing skeleton. This pathological condition can be aggravated by the abuse of glasses, work carried out in schools at a close distance from a book or notebook. The resulting excess refraction
