Seeing clearly near and far.
Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is a common vision condition where you can see distant objects clearly, but nearby objects appear blurry. At Columbia Eye Associates, we provide comprehensive solutions to correct hyperopia and improve your vision at all distances.
What is Hyperopia?
Hyperopia occurs when the eyeball is slightly shorter than normal or the cornea is not curved enough. This causes light to focus behind the retina instead of directly on it, resulting in blurry near vision.
Symptoms of Hyperopia:
- Blurred near vision
- Eye strain
- Headaches
- Difficulty concentrating on close-up tasks
Treatment Options for Hyperopia:
- Eyeglasses: Prescribed eyeglasses with convex lenses can correct hyperopia.
- Contact Lenses: Contact lenses provide a convenient and cosmetically appealing option for correcting hyperopia.
- Refractive Surgery: LASIK surgery can permanently reshape the cornea to correct hyperopia.
Our Hyperopia Services:
- Comprehensive Eye Exams: We perform thorough eye exams to diagnose hyperopia and determine the appropriate treatment.
- Eyeglass and Contact Lens Prescriptions: We provide accurate prescriptions for eyeglasses and contact lenses to correct your vision.
- LASIK Co-Management: We offer pre- and post-operative care for patients considering LASIK surgery for hyperopia.
