What treatment options are available for the person struggling with Hyperopia?
The most dramatic method of treating Hyperopia is through the use of laser treatment which helps to reshape the cornea. This allows light to be redirected closer to the retina in order to correct the blurriness and inability to focus on objects that are near. Laser treatment is becoming a popular option for individuals who have the resources to pay for this surgery out of pocket; it is an optional surgery and quite often not covered by insurance. The most popular method of correcting farsightedness is through the use of specially designed and inexpensive contact lenses and/or glasses. In a work environment, the treatment of farsightedness is essential in being able to carry out the basic functions of reading, writing, using a computer or even human interaction in close quarters. Contact lenses are an effective method of treating Hyperopia, and will correct the blurry vision that might be the root cause of tension headaches, difficulty concentrating, and reduction of work productivity.
