Hyperopia eye treatment can come from a number of sources, from eyeglass correction to contact lenses to LASIK surgery. Hyperopia or farsightedness is the inability to see things or objects near the subject. The condition is caused by light entering the eyesight and focusing behind the retina rather than directly on it. The farsightedness happens as the result of the cornea at the front of the eye being flatter than normal. It is quite common for children to be farsighted, and is usually detected when people complain of blurred distance vision, eyesight fatigue when reading, eyesight strain that results in headaches, and burning of the eyes and crossed eyes in children.
Hyperopia eye treatment begins with a trip to an eyesight care professional. A person will either be examined by an optometrist or an ophthalmologist. An optometrist is a college graduate who has gone on to have four more years of training in the examination of treatment of eyesight irregularities. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who has specialized in the care of diseases of eyesight. He or she often does surgery on the optical system including some neurological issues. Either professional will be able to test, evaluate and diagnose farsightedness and recommend hyperopia eye treatment. A good suggestion would be to check with friends and colleagues about the eyesight care specialists they use and have liked over the years.
A number of standard tests will be given to diagnose farsightedness. An eye movement test will be included in this evaluation which is a way for the doctor the check the strength and tone of the muscles that move the eye. Glaucoma testing will be provided by measuring the resistance of the eyeball against a puff of air generated by an instrument. A refraction test measures the ability of a person to see objects at a specific distance. This is the familiar reading of the letters on the eyesight chart, usually through what is known as a phoroptor or refractor. The familiar words are heard, "Is this better, or this one? Hyperopia eye treatment will be determined by the results of these tests plus other tests.
Once the diagnosis of farsightedness has been made, a discussion of treatment options will unfold. Should the patient decide on eyeglasses, the doctor or perhaps an assistant will measure the patient's facial features to insure a good fit for the frames, and then will be directed to a display of frames that are available in the patient's size. The patient can decide to either purchase the frames at the eyesight care professional's office or buy them at a discount eyeglass store. The frames will probably be less expensive at the store, but that not might always be the case. And comparing the same frames from doctor to discount vendor might prove difficult to do. A simple prescriptive eyeglass lens is all the hyperopia eye treatment that it will take to improve the patient's vision to normal.
But the patient might not want to wear glasses, and contact lenses certainly are a possibility. If the choice is to wear contacts lenses then there are a couple of choices including soft and hard lenses. The hard lenses are not the hard lenses of decades ago that were made out of Plexiglas but rather ones that are thin enough to allow oxygen to permeate them. This allows the eye to breathe and correspondingly allow for more hours each day of wear although they are taken out each night. Hyperopia eye treatment may include soft contact lenses which are easier to wear on the first day than the hard lenses but may provide less clear vision, especially after blinking. The soft lenses come in types, including daily disposables which are the most expensive. And of course, there is the opportunity to order the lenses in various colors for the exotic look.
Finally, because of the job a person has or the activities that he or she participates in, there may not be any interest in either eyeglasses or contact lenses. LASIK surgery is now available for many people who suffer from hyperopia, myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. This laser surgery is performed by cutting a layer of the eye, folding the flap back and reshaping the tissue beneath it so the light will enter the eye and focus correctly on the retina. This surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist and may or may not have its moments of uncomfortable sensations. Much of this depends on the patients himself. This type of hyperopia eye treatment has been used for many years and for the most part is relatively safe. Sometimes a patient will have to return for another procedure, particularly if the patient is older and if the condition being treated is astigmatism.
The American Optometric Association says that the common visual screenings that children receive in school may not catch many of the cases of farsightedness. If this is the case, many children who may have trouble focusing on certain assignments that require a great deal of reading will be overlooked for common hyperopia eye treatment available through a simple pair of eyeglasses. Listen carefully to children's complaints of headaches, burning eyes and irritability after a sustained period of concentration. The Bible says that the proof of God is all around us in His creation and handwork. Good eyesight brings all of that wonder into clear focus. "Because that which may be known of God in manifested in them; for God hat shown it to them for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power of Godhead..." (Romans 1:19, 20 a&b)
