Farsightedness or hyperopia is an inability of eyes to focus
on the up close objects. People with farsightedness can easily see the distant
objects but find it difficult to discriminate between the objects lying close.
This creates obstacles in reading, writing & several other motor tasks that
lead to strain, fatigue & headaches. Fortunately, with corrective
contact lenses; farsightedness can easily be treated. Though it is a rare occurrence;
it is sometimes seen in children under 8 years. (Don’t confuse farsightedness
with Presbyopia)
Contact Lenses for Hyperopia
Hyperopia happens when your eye ball is too shallow or short.
The light rays focus the image behind the retina which is easily fixed when the
image is formed on to the retina. Corrective contact lenses with a prescription
preceded by a “+” sign effectively fix the issue. These corrective contacts are
thicker at the center and thinner at the edges.
Contact Lenses or Glasses for Hyperopia?
Though hyperopia is also treated using spectacles, patients
have reported contact lenses to be more comfortable. Since contact lenses
provide wider field of view, practical benefits over glasses in sports and
remain unaffected against the weather changes; contact lenses are more successful
in treating farsightedness than glasses.
