Medical Conditions - Hyperopia

Hyperopia or farsightedness is an eye condition wherein a person can see distant objects clearly, but the nearby objects would appear blurry to them. Problems with the shape of the eye lens or cornea and defects in eyeball growth can cause hyperopia. Symptoms of hyperopia include trouble seeing nearby objects, blurry vision, and headache. Contact lenses, glasses, and LASIK eye surgery are used to correct vision in people with hyperopia.
