PRESENTATION OUTLINE
REFRACTIVE ERROR - FARSIGHTED
WHAT IS IT?
It is when your vision is clear in the distance, but it's blurry close up.
WHY DOES THIS DISORDER OCCUR?
It is caused by an imperfection in the eye.
HOW WOULD YOU SEE THE WORLD IF YOU HAD THIS DISORDER?
If I had this disorder I would see things differently up close. Things would be blurry when I'm closer to it.
HOW IS IT TREATED?
An eye doctor might provide the patient with an eyeglass prescription for corrective lenses. Small amounts of hyperopia are sometimes left uncorrected, but a lot of the amounts might be corrected with convex lenses. Convex lenses cause the light to focus closer than its normal range.
