• #1 Hypermetropia (Long-Sightedness): Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

  https://patient.info/eye-care/long-sight-hypermetropia

  The medical name for long-sightedness is hypermetropia, sometimes called hyperopia. […] Long-sightedness leads to problems with near vision (seeing things that are close up) and the eyes may commonly become tired. […] Long sight can be corrected by glasses, contact lenses, or laser eye surgery. […] Hypermetropia (long-sightedness) is a refractive error and occurs when light from near objects is not quite brought to focus in time to hit the retina. […] People with long sight cannot accommodate fully and so the light does not focus on the retina and vision is blurred. […] The main symptom is a difficulty with near vision. […] Other common symptoms of hypermetropia (long sight) include: 'Tiring’ of the eyes (asthenopia), headaches, uncomfortable vision, difficulties seeing with both eyes (binocular vision), lazy eye (amblyopia), squint (strabismus).

  https://www.barraquer.com/en/pathology/hypermetropia-long-sightedness

  Long-sighted people cannot see as well up close as they can far away. This is the opposite of myopia (short-sightedness). […] In hypermetropia, the eye is shorter than an emmetropic eye, therefore images of close object are focussed behind the retina. This causes long-sightedness. […] Treatment for hypermetropia (long-sightedness) should be adapted based on each case, and even though it cannot be cured, it can be corrected using: […] Glasses or contact lenses. This is the simplest way of correcting long-sightedness. […] Long-sightedness is generally hereditary. If one parent is long-sighted, then there is an increased risk that the children will be too. The same thing happens with short-sightedness. The risk is even greater if both parents are long-sighted.

• #6 Hyperopia (Long-sightedness): Symptoms, Causes & TreatmentsLook After Your Eyes

  https://lookafteryoureyes.org/eye-conditions/long-sight/

  What is long-sightedness (hyperopia)? Normally, light is focussed by the cornea and lens to form a sharp image on the retina. Long-sightedness occurs when the eyeball is slightly too short so that the focus point is behind the retina at the back of the eye. If you are long-sighted, you find it more difficult to see clearly objects that are close to you. For example, words on a page or your phone screen may seem blurred. […] Long-sightedness affects people of all ages. […] People who are long-sighted may: see distant objects clearly, but nearby objects look blurred or fuzzy; need to screw up their eyes to see clearly; have tired eyes or headaches after reading and writing, working on the computer or other close-up activities. […] Long-sightedness can be corrected by glasses or contact lenses.

  Long-sightedness (Hypermetropia) […] Long-sightedness affects the ability to see nearby objects. You may be able to see distant objects clearly, but closer objects are usually out of focus. […] It affects people of all ages including babies and children but the effects of it often progressively worsen as people get older. […] The medical name for long-sightedness is hyperopia or hypermetropia. […] It is important to note that it is different from presbyopia (age related blur) which affects the ability to see objects close up due to ageing changes in the eye. […] Symptoms of long-sightedness […] Long-sightedness can affect people in different ways. […] Most people start by only having trouble focusing on nearby objects, but as people get older they may struggle to see clearly at any distance.

  Hypermetropia (Long-sight) […] Information about the causes, symptoms and treatment of hypermetropia (long-sight). […] This leaflet is intended to answer some of the questions of parents or carers of children diagnosed with Hypermetropia under the care of University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. […] A child with mild hypermetropia is likely to see things at a ‘long’ distance better than things at a ‘near’ distance. For this reason hypermetropia is also known as ‘longsightedness’ and ‘far-sightedness’. A child with moderate or strong hypermetropia will have blurred vision for both near and distance. […] Children are good at adapting to blurred vision and will often not show any signs of having hypermetropia. Sometimes a child can want to sit closer to the TV than normal, or complain of headaches and blurred vision. In some cases the child’s eyes may start to turn inwards if they are having to exert a large effort to focus. This is occasionally the first indication of hypermetropia.

• #18 Eyesight: What is Short, Long Sight & Astigmatism? – We Fix Eyes

  http://wefixeyes.co.nz/articles/short-sight-long-sight/

  A person with hyperopia is unable to clearly see things that are close to them. They can usually see things that are far away, at long distances. Sometimes, when a person is very hyperopic, they can’t see clearly at any distance long or short. In hyperopia the lens causes the image to be focused behind the retina. […] With age, the lens gets less flexible but it also gets thicker. This increased thickening can also cause the lens to become cloudy, and harder to see through, this is called a cataract. Cataracts are a very common occurrence later in life. […] Presbyopia is a gradual age-related loss of the eyes ability to focus on close-up objects. The ability to change focus to images at different distances is called accommodation. Presbyopia starts to become noticeable around the age of 40 to 50 years. It gradually worsens, stabilising around the age of 60-65 years.

• #19 Long-sightedness

  https://contenidos.bupasalud.com/en/health-and-wellness/bupa-life/long-sightedness

  Symptoms of long-sightedness are: close objects appear fuzzy or blurry, while distant objects remain in focus, headaches, tired eyes. […] The two main treatments for a squint caused by long-sightedness are wearing glasses and wearing an eye patch. […] Presbyopia is also known as age-related long-sightedness. As you get older, your lenses slowly lose their flexibility, becoming stiffer and less elastic. Eventually, light rays from near objects no longer focus on your retina and you become long-sighted. It happens to almost everyone, regardless of whether you already wear glasses or contact lenses or not. […] You can’t prevent presbyopia as it’s a natural part of the ageing process. Almost everyone will develop presbyopia eventually. […] Presbyopia isn’t a disease it’s a normal expected change that happens to almost everyone sooner or later. The lens of your eye begins to stiffen and lose elasticity around the age of 40 these changes are usually completed by the time you’re 60.

• #20 Long Sightedness | Eye Institute | Laser Eye Surgery and Eye Health

  https://eyeinstitute.co.nz/long-sightedness/

  Long-sightedness is a refractive error caused by an imperfection in the eye. […] Hyperopia is an inherited condition, which means you’re more likely to suffer long-sightedness if one of your parents has it. […] An optometrist or eye doctor can diagnose long-sightedness during a routine eye examination. […] People with long-sightedness generally have good vision aside from the refractive error. […] Traditionally, many people treat their refractive error with glasses and contacts. However, for permanent vision correction and freedom from the hassles of glasses and contacts, laser vision correction is an excellent option. […] Long-sightedness does tend to progress in adults due to the normal ageing process of the eye. However, the correctly powered vision correction device (glasses or contacts) or vision correction surgery allows most people to retain great vision.

• #21 How can long sightedness be treated? | Southampton | Lymington

  https://clarisvision.co.uk/how-can-long-sightedness-be-treated/

  Long-sightedness, or hyperopia as it is known medically, is a refractive error of the eye that can easily be compensated for or corrected. […] Hyperopia is naturally present at birth and the early years of life; over the first 5 to 6 years the degree of long-sightedness decreases through a process known as emmetropisation. However, a significant proportion of the population will remain hyperopic in adulthood. […] Long-sightedness and other refractive errors can be diagnosed by your optometrist (optician) or eye doctor. The examination involves a refraction in order to assess the refractive status of the eye. Other conditions of the eye that may co-exist, such as narrow-angle glaucoma, squint or lazy eye, can also be detected. […] Options for long-sightedness include glasses, contact lenses and refractive eye surgery: Spectacles are by far the most common modality for the compensation of long-sightedness. They are readily available and cheap.

  This is done by an Optometrist. Children with hypermetropia are often very good at over-focussing to see as clearly as possible. This can result in false readings as to what the glasses prescription should be. To overcome this young children are often asked to have eyedrops put into both eyes before the optometrists appointment. These eye drops limit the ability to focus for a few hours so that the optometrist can get an accurate reading. […] Glasses or contact lenses can be used to make the vision clearer. Glasses are the most common method used in children. The lenses used to correct hypermetropia are called ‘convex’ or ‘plus’ lenses and are indicated by a plus sign on the glasses prescription.

  https://www.oclvision.com/blog/how-to-correct-long-sightedness/

  Long-sightedness is a common condition that can be treated easily. Also known as hypermetropia or hyperopia, the condition occurs when the eye doesnt focus light properly, making it difficult for patients to view objects close-up. […] Glasses help to correct long-sightedness by changing the way the eye focuses light. In a long-sighted patient, light entering the eye falls behind the retina, instead of on the retina itself, resulting in blurry vision close-up (although long-sighted people with no other visual issues can often see well over long distances). […] Once diagnosed, a long-sighted patient can use their eye prescription to buy corrective contact lenses, which will correct long-sightedness in the same way as glasses. […] If you are considering how to correct long-sightedness, surgery could be a viable option for you. Laser eye surgery and Clear Lens Extraction are both permanent treatment options so once you have undergone surgery, you wont need any further intervention to help your vision.

• #31 Long-sightedness (hyperopia)

  https://info.health.nz/conditions-treatments/eyes/long-sightedness-hyperopia

  Long-sightedness (also called far-sightedness or hyperopia) is when someone can see things clearly in the distance but has difficulty seeing close objects clearly. If you are long-sighted, there is a problem with how your eyes focus. […] Long-sightedness usually happens because your eyeballs are smaller than normal, or the front surface of your eye (the cornea) is too flat. This means that when your eyes are fully relaxed, light focuses behind the retinas rather than on them. This causes blurry vision. […] Long-sightedness is usually inherited and happens regardless of the amount of close work you do, how much you rest or exercise and what vitamin supplements you take. Wearing glasses does not strengthen or weaken vision in adult eyes. But glasses do make it easier to see more clearly and comfortably.

  Glasses and contact lenses are the most common method used to correct most refractive errors, including long-sightedness. […] Older people, or young people with significant long-sightedness, often have problems because focusing requires a lot of effort. […] For people with significant long-sightedness, contact lenses can be the best form of correction as they provide better vision and may be preferable to wearing thick glasses. […] In Australia, some surgeons use excimer lasers to correct long-sightedness. […] As excimer laser surgery does not alter the natural shape or elasticity of the lens inside the eye, people who have laser surgery eventually still usually need glasses for reading.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK423827/

  Our ability to see things close-up gets worse with age. This age-related farsightedness is known as presbyopia. Although it cant be reversed, it is easy to correct. The simplest way is to wear reading glasses. […] Wearing reading glasses is then a simple and effective solution for people who dont already have other problems with their eyesight. […] The lenses of eyeglasses make up for this (correct it): They bend (refract) and focus light before it reaches the lens of the eye. This makes up for the poor refractive power of the natural lens. So wearing reading glasses helps you see nearby objects clearly again. […] Prescription reading glasses can be specially made by opticians, taking into account the individual prescription strength needed. […] Bifocal or multifocal contact lenses are also an option for people with presbyopia. […] Like with the glasses, these contact lenses have different zones for looking at nearby and more distant objects.

  Sometimes the effort to see clearly for someone who is hypermetropic can cause one eye to wander. An eye that turns / deviates is called a strabismus. The type of strabismus seen in someone who has hypermetropia is commonly an esotropia. This is when the eye turns inwards towards their nose. Glasses can reduce the strabismus and can often fully correct it. Occasionally an operation may be needed if the strabismus persists with glasses. […] Another complication can be amblyopia (reduced vision in one eye). This can occur if the glasses prescription is higher in one eye than the other. Amblyopia can resolve over time as glasses are worn. If it persists, despite good compliance with glasses, then we need to do some patching treatment. This involves wearing an eye patch over the better seeing eye for a few hours per day to help encourage the vision to develop. Your orthoptist will advise you if this is necessary.
