what is hypermetropia .write the remedies for it
Answers
Hypermetropia, sometimes called hyperopia, is the term used to define being longsighted.
If you are hypermetropic, the image of a nearby object is formed behind the retina. This means that light is focused too far back in the eye, causing things which are close up to appear blurred.
How is it treated?
Both myopia and hypermetropia can be easily corrected by the Optometrist at your local Vision Express, using prescription glasses or contact lenses specifically designed to counteract their effects.
Shortsightedness is corrected using a concave (curved inwards) lens which is placed in front of a myopic eye, moving the image back to the retina and making it clearer.
Longsightedness is corrected using a convex (outward facing) lens. This is placed in front of a hypermetropic eye, moving the image forward and focusing it correctly on the retina.
Hypermetropia:
Hypermetropia is a vision disorder. In this vision condition the person cannot see the nearby objects or it will be very blurry.
Remedies of hypermetropia:
- It can be said as long-sightedness.
- It mainly occurred when the ‘eyeball’ is too short that prevents incoming light directly on the ‘retina’.
- Sometimes it can be due to abnormal shape of the cornea or lens.
- It can be easily corrected by the Optometrist with the help of correct glasses or contact lenses.
