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
After doing research about ICL, I chose to move forward with Dr. Solomon and it was honestly one of the best decisions I have ever made. He and the staff were incredibly attentive before, during, and after the procedure and made themselves available whenever I had a question. Any type of eye procedure can be anxiety-inducing, but Dr. Solomon is incredibly experienced and was so kind throughout the whole process.
Lorraine was amazing! She called me the day before to inform me of a balance so I wouldn’t be surprised. She was professional and very pleasant when I went to my appointment.Margaret was also very patient and professional.
The staff at the front desk gave me warm professional greetings with big smiles.Lorraine was patient and helpful as I struggled creating the log in and new account.Carlos moved me through the testing efficiently and answered my questions.Dr Siddiqui was thorough and pleasant.At the front desk Calaya made my next appointment and she and Lorraine were again very cheerful as they completed the exiting process.A great experience from start to finish.
I love Solomon’s Eye!Lorraine is an absolute GEM! 💎. I was running late for my appointment today after just flying into town. She was able to work with me to make sure I was seen by Dr.Siddiqui. I really appreciate them both for working diligently to make my appointment happen. Kudos on a job well done!Nita Blue
