Farsightedness (Hyperopia)
Those with hyperopia or farsightedness commonly need no glasses until they reach their late 30's and find that they use reading glasses before their friends. Shortly thereafter, they may notice that they see better for distance with their reading glasses. Soon after that they find that they are dependent on their glasses for near and far.
Unlike myopia where the eye is too long, in hyperopia the eye is too short or the cornea too flat so that light rays entering the eye want to focus at a spot behind the retina. Hyperopia or farsightedness can be helped with Laser Vision Correction. Some may find adequate treatment with the less invasive procedure of Conductive Keratoplasty (CK).
