Introduction
• Hyperopia (hypermetropia, farsightedness) non accommodating eye focuses
the shadow behind the retina. Can be caused by reduced axial length, decrease in
the index of refraction (refractive hyperopia), or a lack of corneal curvature or the
lens so that the shadow is focused behind the retina (hypermetropy curvature).
• total prevalence in US around 10% (14 million), with a prevalence of around
9.9% in people aged 40 years and over.
• A study reports that hyperopia is most commonly found in Hispanic populations,
followed by the American, African-American and Pacific Islands populations, and
most rarely in Asian and Caucasian populations. Gender differences are not
known to be related to the prevalence of hyperopia.
• Family history, mothers who smoke during pregnancy, prematurity, and low birth
weight are associated with the incidence of hyperopia. Living in rural areas is also
associated with a higher prevalence of hyperopia than urban areas. In addition,
diabetes mellitus can also be associated with hyperopia.
Con’t
• People with hyperopia usually experience accommodative asthenopia
(fatigue eye, dizziness, headache, glare, watery, burning sensation, blurred
vision, and so on). In addition, esotropia can also occur in patients with
hyperopia. People with hyperopia tend to experience presbyopia more
quickly, namely the condition of the irreversible loss of accommodative
power (of the lens) due to the aging process.
• diagnosis of hyperopia is done by a visual examination, assessment of
refraction and physical examination of the eye
• A correction lens can help shadows fall right on the retina. In addition, it
can also be corrected by surgery under certain conditions. If the patient
has experienced presbyopia, a plus lens for close reading can also be given
according to the reading distance and age of the patient.

purchased from overhang eyeglass traders. Since then, patient routinely use the
same glasses. When patient has health insurance, he begins to check his eyes to
the ophthalmologyst and routinely change his glasses every 2 years, but patients
do not remember the size. The last glasses the patient uses are S-1.50 and
S+3.00, same for the right and left eye. Currently, patient complains that his
glasses are no longer suitable for reading near or looking far away, so the patient
feels his eyes get tired easily, headache and a blurred vision. Therefore, patient
comes to change his glasses size. The patient dienies eye pain, red eyes, glare and
foggy vision.
Past medical History
