Hyperopia

When your eye is too flat to focus far away objects

Sometimes called being far-sighted, meaning that your vision far away is better than your vision up close

Young patients can usually focus clearly with the zooming (accommodation) system

As your eyes get older, they lose their zooming ability and glasses will make things clear and comfortable

Usually patients will need reading glasses first, then later need glasses to see far away also

We can correct this with eyeglasses, contact lenses or laser vision surgery
