What is hypermetrobia?

Hypermetropia, also known as hyperopia or farsightedness, is a common refractive error of the eye where distant objects can be seen more clearly than close ones. This condition occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, causing light rays to focus behind the retina. Symptoms can include eye strain, headaches, and difficulty focusing on nearby tasks. Corrective lenses or refractive surgery can help improve vision for those affected.
