Hypermetropia

Both myopia (short-sightedness) and hypermetropia (far-sightedness) are common eye conditions that occur when light does not focus on the retina properly. Both conditions are easily corrected using prescription glasses or contact lenses or, in mild cases, by laser eye surgery.

Reasons For Hypermetropia: The curvature of the cornea and eye lens decreases and hence the converging power of the lens becomes less. It may also be caused due to flattening of the eyeball.
