Hyperopia or farsightedness is the inability to see nearer objects clearly but distant ones can be visualized clearly.

This is generally caused by an inherited factor and people can be born with it.Symptoms include the inability to focus with close work such as reading or working on a mobile phone, eye strain, headache. Diagnosis is generally made by eye check up and sometimes the pupils might need to be dilated by adding eye drops before eye examination.Usually, treatment includes usage of glasses or contact lenses. And it may also be removed permanently using laser surgery or photorefractive keratectomy. An follow up with an ophthalmologist for diagnosis will still be needed early enough as the management for this will be most effective. Children are more prone to have when compared to adults to due to prolonged screen time over the phone.
