About Hyperopia
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
So, you've been told you have hyperopia, also known as farsightedness. Don't worry, you're not alone! Let's dive into some frequently asked questions about this common vision issue.
What is hyperopia?
Hyperopia is a common refractive error where distant objects are seen more clearly than close ones. This occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature.
How do I know if I have hyperopia?
If you experience difficulty focusing on close-up objects, eye strain, headaches, or blurred vision when reading, you might have hyperopia. An eye exam by an optometrist can confirm the diagnosis.
Can hyperopia be corrected?
Absolutely! Hyperopia can be easily corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses. Refractive surgery, such as LASIK, can also be an option for some individuals.
What are the risks of untreated hyperopia?
If left uncorrected, hyperopia can lead to eye strain, headaches, and a higher risk of developing crossed eyes (strabismus) in children. It's essential to address hyperopia early on to prevent these issues.
How often should I have my eyes checked for hyperopia?
It's recommended to have regular eye exams, at least once every two years, to monitor your eye health and detect any vision changes promptly.
Solomon Eye Physicians & Surgeons Reviews
I did not visit the Bowie office, but the Greenbelt office. The staff is very friendly and professional. Their equiment is state-of-the-art. The receptionists are friendly and professional. Technician Chris and Dr. Siddiqui were friendly and professional.
My wife and I received the highest quality eye care that was provided by outstanding professionals that took time to answer all questions and resolve all issues related to a variety of vision issues.
I’ve been a patient since 2002. It’s a great practice and staff members are professional!
Very professional. Timely service from sign-in, to technicians and doctors. I’ve seen a few doctors in this practice and all have provided excellent service to include Dr. Solomon, himself. Dr. Tarver is my regular practitioner and she is excellent especially if you have outlier conditions that affect your eyes. I am very pleased with Dr. Tarver. I like the “vibe” of Dr. Solomon; he is a man after my own heart when it comes to the ‘70’s music, “and the beat goes on”. Keep up good work!!!
Always love the dedicated care! Dr. Michele Tarver is the best!
