What is hyperopia?
Hyperopia is caused by an eye that is too short: light rays enter the eye and come to a focus behind the retina because the eye is too short.

Hyperopia treatment
Hyperopia treatment brings the focal point back onto the retina by reshaping the cornea with a laser or implanting a lens, improving both near and distance vision.
