Sign in to saveAlso known as hypermetropia, far-sightedness
defecto ocular que afecta a la visión a distancias cortas
Hyperopia, commonly called far-sightedness, is a condition where your eyes focus light behind the retina instead of directly on it, making nearby objects appear blurred while distant ones stay clear. It matters because while mild cases may go unnoticed due to your eye's natural focusing ability, severe hyperopia causes blurred vision and eye strain during close-up activities like reading.

Article · Español
La hipermetropía es un defecto ocular de refracción que consiste en que los rayos de luz inciden en el ojo humano, convergiendo detrás de la retina, formando de esta manera el foco o imagen. Es debida casi siempre a que el ojo es muy corto en su eje antro-posterior. Es un defecto muy frecuente, aunque no es progresivo ni tiene repercusiones graves. Se trata mediante el uso de lentes compensadoras convergentes o convexas y/o se corrige con cirugías refractivas a base de rayos láser. La hipermetropía, la miopía y el astigmatismo son los principales defectos de refracción o ametropías. La magnitud de este defecto se mide en dioptrías positivas.
