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
EDIT 6/11/2026: I ended up speaking with Rebecca, making an appointment to see Dr. Solomon on Friday, June 5 at 10 AM. I didn't get taken back until 10:38, but then the service was really excellent. The tech was great, she was warm, comforting and answered my questions. Dr. Solomon was also incredibly kind, patient, and thorough. He even tried to get me help with other doctors in other fields. It turns out my optic nerve is just fine and my kerotoconus is well managed. This experience made up for the call center communication. I'll be going back for my check up in 6 months. Just minus one for the really long wait.-------------------Got referred here for a thinning optic nerve and keracotonus. The person on the phone couldn't even pronounce my eye issue "kokokonous? kokonus? coconos?" I was then informed, despite the massive dedication on their website to my specific eye disease, that they could not help with keracotonus or my optic nerve, could only do an eye exam and would refer me "out to retina" - I had to ask to speak to a manager to find out what that meant. I wish they would train staff before they release them onto the public because this makes the actual professionals at the practice lose credibility.
Dr. Solomon and his team talks you through everything from the beginning to the end. Even when you have your follow ups. I find he does have humor as well as being there to help you as you are very much nervous. I can see clearly now the clouds are gone. (smiles)
Me encanta ! Si lo recomiendo!
