| At birth, most infants are hyperopic, meaning images are focused behind the retina. |
|
| Eyes that are anteriorly or posteriorly shorter than the normal eye size with too little refractive power are hyperopic, or farsighted. |
|
| At birth, most infants are hyperopic, but when the eyes grow they usually become less hyperopic and by age 5-8 years emmetropic. |
|
| The surgical procedure is similar for hyperopic patients, although the surgical technique varies to accommodate the flatter cornea. |
|
| The LASIK procedure can improve myopic and hyperopic vision with or without astigmatism in acceptable candidates. |
|
| Reshaping enables the cornea to focus light on the retina, which it cannot do in hyperopic or myopic eyes. |
|
| The hyperopic patient can then have some difficulties in near vision because he uses some of his accommodation to compensate his hyperopia. |
|
| Symptoms can be those of an hyperopic patient or a myopic patient added with the distorded image. |
|
| The hyperopic eye is either shorter than normal or it contains a cornea with a flat curvature. |
|
| The result is that the hyperopic patient can see clearly for distance after laser treatment. |
|
| There is exuberance on every page, yet in these ways, the book is both hyperopic and myopic, missing that meaty stuff in the middle of life that we associate with novels. |
|
| Therefore, the image has two focals which can be in front or behind the retina, defining different types of astigmatism: myopic, hyperopic or mixte. |
|
| The third test in April 1995 at Kilcoe National School, Skibbereen, revealed a condition known as hyperopic astigmatism and treatment was begun. |
|
| Right, picture seen by an hyperopic patient. |
|
| These two different focuses in the one lens allow people with myopic or hyperopic conditions to use a single pair of glasses for both long distance and up-close vision. |
|
| Many develop an accommodative component to their strabismus between the ages of two and four and require treatment with hyperopic corrective spectacles. |
|
| The hyperopic eye is too short and the image appears behind the cornea. |
|
| Conversely, rearing animals with positive lenses, such that the eye experiences myopic defocus, results in the eye adjusting its growth pattern to become hyperopic. |
