  3. Hypermetropia is also called long-sightedness, or far-sightedness.

Treatment of hypermetropia

  1. The use of suitable corrective lenses, as well as spectacles as recommended by an ophthalmologist, could aid throughout the treatment of Low Hypermetropia.
  2. The nearby objects are difficult to see and the type of lens used for correction (convex lens, as it is converging).
  3. Laser eye surgery.
  4. Intraocular lens implantation is being used to treat severe hypermetropia.
