Vina cannot read when she holds books closer than hundred centimeters 100 centimeters from her eye this is the distance from her I name the defect and prescribe a lens of suitable power to correct that defect given that the normal eye in your point is 25 centimeters so let's see what's given to us oh if this is Vienna's eye then it's given that she cannot read when she holds books closer than her centimeters so if anything comes closer than hundred centimeters she cannot see it clearly that means if it's outside of hundred centimeters farther away than hundred centimeters she can see it and I'm gonna put a green over there saying that she can see any objects over here but if there's any object within hundred centimeters then she can't see it so we'll put a red for that so she can't see anything over here and I'm only going to go until 25 centimeters because beyond 20 or closer than 25 centimeters even a normal eye can't see it so we don't have to worry about this region it's only this region that veena is unable to see which a normal eye can but we know as I cannot do it so the first question is what is this defect well I want you to pause the video and think about what that defect is well since she can see things which are far away but she cannot see things which are close to her she is farsighted so the defect the defect over here is rather than over here far sightedness because she can see things which are far away so far sightedness or the biological term is hyper Metr...

5) Treatment of Hypermetropia What is Hypermetropia (Farsightedness)? Also known as hyperopia, hypermetropia or farsightedness is a type of refractive error in which a person can see distant objects easily, but have difficulty seeing objects that are up close. If the amount of hyperopia is high, it will be difficult to focus on far objects too. It is a common vision problem that has affected Children with mild to moderate hypermetropia can see both far and close objects clearly without refractive correction, but with the extra effort of ocular muscles and eye lenses. As a consequence, there will be a risk of squint and other ocular disorders. Farsightedness Causes Hypermetropia occurs when the cornea (clear window of the eye) is too flat or when the eye is shorter than normal size. Due to flat cornea or shorter eyeball, the rays of light entering the eye get focused outside the retina instead of on it. As a result, you can see distant objects somewhat clearly but near objects appear blurred. Like in Usually, most children are hyperopic of a small amount, yet they do not experience blurry vision. They become emmetropic (eye without refractive error) as the eye grows and become longer. Sometimes hypermetropia is confused with presbyopia. Presbyopia also causes blurry vision for near but for different reasons. Symptoms of Hyperopia During childhood, the symptom of farsightedness is not prominent as the eyes are good at the accommodation. However, with growing age, the age-rel...

About Hypermetropia Hypermetropia is a common problem with the eyes focusing that can affect your vision at all distances, but especially close-up. This is because of a focusing problem. Usually, light comes in through the lens and focuses on the retina at the back of the eye. In hypermetropia, the light is focused too far back in the eye, behind the retina, which causes things to look blurred close-up. Many very young children have mild hypermetropia that gets better by itself as they grow older. The percentage of people with hypermetropia increases with age. Treatments for hypermetropia Long sight can be easily corrected with glasses or contact lenses, using convex (curved outwards) lenses, which move the focus of the light forward onto the retina, allowing you to see clearly. Laser eye surgery is also an option, but is not usually available on the NHS. To find out more about laser and implant-based techniques for hypermetropia, please contact

Introduction Ametropia is an umbrella term for visual disorders caused by abnormalities in the refractive power of the eye leading to blurred vision. The main components of refraction are the cornea, lens and axial length (anterior-posterior length of the eye). The cornea is responsible for two-thirds of the refraction of the eye, and the lens is responsible for one-third. In the normal state, also known as emmetropia, light that enters the eye is focussed directly onto the retina. However, in the ametropic eye, this is not the case. The four main types of ametropia are myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism and presbyopia. A short or long axial length is the most common reason for myopia and hypermetropia respectively. 1 This article intends to provide a basic understanding of ametropia.

Myopia Myopia, also known as near-sightedness, is the state that occurs when the eye is too long, causing light to be focussed in front of the retina. Myopia can also occur if the eye is too ‘strong’ (i.e. the lens or cornea has too high a focusing power), thus bringing the image forward in front of the retina. As a result, myopes are able to view objects that are held closely in front of their eyes (due to accommodation), however, anything in the distance will appear blurred. The prevalence of myopia is variable between ethnic...

Farsightedness is an eye condition that causes blurry vision when looking at things close up (like words in a book). You may also have headaches or eye strain. Eyeglasses, contact lenses and surgery can correct your vision and ease your discomfort. An eye care provider will help you decide what’s best for your needs. Overview Farsightedness can cause symptoms that interfere with your daily routine. What is farsightedness? Farsightedness is a common eye condition that may cause you to have blurry close-up vision. People with farsightedness: • Typically have an easier time seeing objects that are far away (at least 6 meters, or almost 20 feet). • Have difficulty focusing their eyes on things that are close up. People with a high degree of farsightedness may have blurry vision at all distances. The shape of your eye determines whether you have some degree of farsightedness. Factors include the length of your eye from front to back (axial length) and the curvature of your You can’t control the shape of your eye, and farsightedness isn’t an If you notice it’s hard to see things up close, contact an Farsightedness (hyperopia). What is the medical term for farsightedness? “Hyperopia” is the term you may hear healthcare providers use to refer to farsightedness. How common is farsightedness? Globally, farsightedness may affect about 4.6% of children and 30.9% of adults, according to one analysis. The exact prevalence varies based on the research study because researchers use differ...

Hyperopia (also known as hypermetropia or longsightedness) is a common eye focusing problem, where the light rays that enter the eye are focused behind, rather than directly on, the retina. (Image adapted from the internet) This occurs when: - The eyeball is slightly smaller and shorter from front to back. - The focusing mechanisms of the eye (cornea and lens) are too weak and unable to focus light rays onto the retina. In normal eyes, the cornea and lens are sufficiently curved to converge light rays onto the retina. In hyperopic eyes, the cornea or lens (or both) are too flat. This causes too little convergence and the light ends up being focused behind the retina instead. Note: Hyperopia is different from presbyopia. In Presbyopia is caused by the normal aging process of the natural lens. It is not so much a disease but rather a degenerative process that occurs with age. This is the reason that many of us need to wear some form of near reading glasses by the time we are in our 40s. HOW COMMON IS HYPEROPIA? Longsightedness is reasonably common. It occurs in 20% to 50% of the a...

Overview Astigmatism (uh-STIG-muh-tiz-um) is a common and generally treatable imperfection in the curvature of the eye that causes blurred distance and near vision. Astigmatism occurs when either the front surface of the eye (cornea) or the lens inside the eye has mismatched curves. Instead of having one curve like a round ball, the surface is egg-shaped. This causes blurred vision at all distances. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of astigmatism may include: • Blurred or distorted vision • Eyestrain or discomfort • Headaches • Difficulty with night vision • Squinting When to see a doctor See an eye doctor if your eye symptoms detract from your enjoyment of activities or interfere with your ability to perform everyday tasks. An eye doctor can determine whether you have astigmatism and, if so, to what degree. He or she can then advise you of your options to correct your vision. Children and adolescents Children may not realize their vision is blurry, so they need to be screened for eye disease and have their vision tested by a pediatrician, an ophthalmologist, an optometrist or another trained screener at the following ages and intervals. • During the newborn period • At well-child visits until they reach school age • During school years, every 1 to 2 years at well-child visits, at the eye doctor, or through school or public screenings Astigmatism Astigmatism is a type of refractive error caused when either the cornea or the lens has mismatched curves. This makes vision blurry b...
