| What is hyperopia? |
| Hyperopia is a condition where light rays entering the eye are focused behind the retina instead of directly on it, as in the normal eye. It may be present in childhood but does not usually become apparent until people are in their late 20s or 30s when they can no longer see up close. When these patients get into their 40s or 50s, they begin having difficulty seeing distant objects as well. |
