Hyperopia is the clinical name for farsightedness. People with hyperopia have difficulty focusing on items that are close to them, like words in a book. Those with severe cases of hyperopia can also have problems seeing things faraway. Hyperopia usually occurs with advancing age; half of all people over the age of 65 have hyperopia.

Hyperopia is a refractive disorder, which means light rays bend incorrectly in the eye when sending images to the brain. Farsightedness occurs when images focus behind the retina instead of directly on it. A flat cornea or an eyeball that is shorter in length than normal are the causes of hyperopia. Farsightedness, which tends to run in families, is usually present at birth, but some children can outgrow the condition.

Farsightedness cannot be prevented, and once a person has it, there is nothing he can do to keep it from progressing. Special diets, eye exercises and medications cannot improve or cure farsightedness. People with hyperopia usually need glasses to see effectively. Some choose corrective eye surgery, such as non-contact laser thermal keratoplasty (LTK).
