Good vision is a necessary part of an individual's overall well-being. A vision impairment can affect daily activities, work functions, recreation, and even hitting the gym. Hyperopia, also often known as farsightedness, is among the most common types of vision problems. Around 5 – 10 percent of people in the U.S. are affected by hyperopia. It is the decreased ability to see items that are at less than arm's distance, for example, books or images. Hobbies like sewing and even tasks like vacuuming can be quite challenging. Similar to myopia, farsightedness can be diagnosed as mild to extreme and can cause other frustrating symptoms that can impact you all the time. Luckily, there are multiple possible ways to treat your hyperopia.
At Texas State Optical Bandera, our knowledgeable team can determine if you have hyperopia and go over your possible treatment choices. Schedule your appointment at our San Antonio, TX practice for a full eye exam with leading optometrist Dr. Victoria Perez and get one step closer to getting better vision.
What Are the Treatment Options for Hyperopia?
Our exams for farsightedness aren't the only factor it shares with myopia. The effective treatment choices are also the same and allow individuals to choose either prescription glasses or contacts to accommodate their lifestyles. Dr. Perez often recommends that people opt for a combination of both to work with specific tasks. Certain patients with hyperopia could also be eligible for refractive surgery, for example, LASIK or PRK. After your evaluation, she can tell you whether refractive surgery is an effective choice for you. For patients who are candidates, laser vision correction can offer amazing, long-lasting clear vision.

About UsHyperopia FAQs
Are there lifestyle adjustments that can help manage hyperopia?
While lifestyle changes won't correct hyperopia, they can help reduce discomfort caused by eye strain. Taking frequent breaks during close-up work, using proper lighting, and maintaining an ergonomic workspace can all make a difference. Additionally, staying hydrated and eating a diet rich in eye-friendly nutrients like omega-3s and vitamin A can support overall eye health.
Can hyperopia affect night vision?
Yes, hyperopia can sometimes impact your night vision, especially if your eyes are already strained from compensating for close-up tasks during the day. This strain can make it harder for your eyes to adjust to low-light conditions. Wearing the correct prescription lenses and giving your eyes adequate rest can help improve comfort during nighttime activities.
How often should someone with hyperopia get their eyes checked?
If you have hyperopia, it's recommended to have a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year, or as directed by your eye doctor. Regular check-ups ensure that your prescription stays accurate and help monitor for any changes or complications. If you notice new symptoms like increased blurry vision or eye strain, don't wait until your next appointment — schedule a visit sooner.
