Hypermetropia
We see well at any distance when our eyes focus images on the retina, when they don't, we will have a visual defect that we will correct with glasses or contact lenses.
What is hyperopia?
Hypermetropia is a change in sight that affects the vision closely. This happens when the eyes focus the images behind the retina, rather than exactly on it.

Symptoms of hypermetropia
Blurred vision closely with difficulty in focusing.
Feeling of eye fatigue.
If hypermetropia is high or low accommodative capacity, blurred vision from a distance.
Headache.
Red eyes.
How is hyperopia developed?
Most children are born with hyperopia, which is corrected by growth until it disappears. It is important to check whether the child keeps hypermetropia, as it can sometimes be difficult to detect it, to avoid other disorders such as amblyopia (lazy eye) or strabismus.
How DO I CORREGATE hypermetropia?
It is corrected by the use of single-phase glasses, spherical lenses or the combination of both. In the specialist's recipe, a sign (+) is identified in front of the sphere's value.
