HYPEROPIA - TREATING FARSIGHTEDNESS IN BIRMINGHAM
HYPEROPIA: "I CAN'T SEE WELL NEARBY & MY DISTANCE VISION IS BLURRED"
You are “far-sighted” (also known as hyperopia or hypermetropia). Distant objects are focussed in front of your retina because your eye is too short & the focusing power of your eye isn’t strong enough.
Wearing plus (+) glasses moves the focal plane forwards which focuses the image you’re looking at on your retina.

Hyperopia: The problem & the treatment
When you were younger the lens in your eye was able to adjust for your shorter eye. But as you get older, your lens becomes less flexible & you have difficulty adjusting the focus, your eyes get tired so you start to need glasses to read but you can still see well in the distance (far-sighted). Later you become even more frustrated when you need glasses to see in the distance too. Your glasses get thicker & heavier on your nose & more expensive! When wearing glasses your eyes will look bigger through them & everything you look at will also look bigger than when you are wearing contact lenses.
Why does your vision continue to deteriorate if you have hyperopia or are farsighted? And why do your glasses get thicker? The lens in your eyes becomes less flexible & adaptable, & your lens can’t give you the vision correction you used to be able to achieve.
Fortunately, we can correct hyperopia & farsighted eyes with laser eye surgery & refractive lens exchange surgery at either the Birmingham eye clinic. Laser eye surgery can reduce the effect of the less flexible lens, but cannot make it completely flexible & adaptable again. The only permanent solution is to replace your own lens with a new lens with advanced optics. This restores different focal points of the eye & improves the light transmission of the lens.
