Patient Case History: Haley

Kelly woke up one morning having no problem seeing distant objects, but was experiencing trouble seeing objects close to her. Everything close to her was blurred. She went to he family doctor and he examined the eye closely. He was easily able to diagnose the problem due to the symptoms she had.



Anatomy: This vision problem occurs when light rays entering the Lens behind the retina, rather than directly on it. The eyeball of a farsighted person is shorter than normal. May children are born with Hyperopia and some of the out grew it as the eyeball lengths with normal growth

Diagnosis-Bri

An eye doctor can easily diagnose Hyperopia by reviewing the shape of the eyeball. Most people with Hyperopia have an irregulary shaped eyeball; light shining on the eye tends to focus behind, rather than directly on the retina of the eye.

Possible Treatments: 1. Hyperopia can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses to change the way the light rays bend into the eyes.



2. Refractive surgery, such as LASIK or CK, which reshapes the cornea, is another way to correct Hyperopia.

3. A final option would be intraocular implants
