By: Paula Shistel Mr. Holmes’ 6 th Period Anatomy Class

Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness or longsightedness, is a defect of vision caused by an imperfection in the eye (often when the eyeball is too short or when the lens cannot become round enough), causing inability to focus on near objects, and in extreme cases causing a sufferer to be unable to focus on objects at any distance.

Headache (Especially during and after reading) Eyestrain or Fatigue Blurred Vision (Especially up close) Poor Concentration Fun Fact: About 30% of all Americans are farsighted!

Farsightedness can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses or Refractive surgery.

Farsightedness is detected by a comprehensive eye exam performed by an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. Farsighted children can sometimes pass a school vision screening. For this reason, all children should have a professional eye exam prior to beginning school to rule out the presence of hyperopia.
