Hyperopia

In hyperopia, the eyeball is slightly smaller than normal and the cornea is usually flatter.

 

A refractive defect occurs in which the image is formed behind the retina, which means that images of near objects and, to a lesser extent, distant objects are not focused clearly.

 

Refractive surgery is indicated for hyperopic patients over 20 years of age and with diopters ranging from +1 to +10.
