Ipermetropia, cos'è e come si cura | OffHealth

The hyperopic eye is shorter than a normal eye.

In this way, light rays reach the retina before the focus point that comes behind the retina.

So, the image that is formed is perceived as clouded.

The hypermetropic sees poorly both near and far, but as long as the hypermetropic subject is young, he or she is able to compensate, to the extent possible, for this defect by continuing to see well. In fact, the lens being still very elastic allows enough accommodation to compensate for the visual deficit.

Correction requires the use of specific (convex) lenses that shift the point at which light rays converge forward.
