Contact UsWhat is Hyperopia?
Good vision is an integral factor in someone's general quality of life. It can impact daily activities, professional functions, hobbies, and even working out. Hyperopia, often referred to as farsightedness, is among the most frequently treated types of vision impairments. About a fourth of the people in our country are impacted by hyperopia. It is the impaired ability to see objects at less than arm's distance, such as words or photographs. Hobbies like reading and even things like vacuuming can be very difficult. As with nearsightedness, the severity of farsightedness can vary from mild to significant and will often lead to other frustrating discomfort that can impact you daily. Fortunately, we have many possible ways to handle your farsightedness.
At Advanced Vision & Achievement Center, our experienced team can examine you for farsightedness and detail all of your possible treatment methods. Schedule your visit to our Phoenix, AZ practice for a thorough eye exam with medical director Dr. Neha Amin LaCorte or Dr. Mary Hardy, and be one step closer to getting sharper vision.
What Are the Symptoms of Hyperopia?
Hyperopia, or farsightedness, can make certain everyday activities more challenging, particularly those that require clear vision up close. You may notice that reading, working on a computer, or focusing on nearby objects takes more effort than it used to. Symptoms can vary depending on your age and the degree of farsightedness, but common signs of hyperopia include:
- Blurry near vision
- Frequent eyestrain
- Headaches after reading
- Difficulty focusing up close
- Tired or aching eyes
- Squinting to see clearly
- Discomfort during close work
Some people with mild hyperopia experience few noticeable symptoms because their eyes can compensate for the focusing difficulty, especially at younger ages. If you're experiencing blurry vision, headaches, or frequent eyestrain, our team can perform a comprehensive eye examination to determine whether farsightedness is affecting your vision and help you find an appropriate solution.

I felt such confidence in Dr Amin. She was very professional and gave me excellent care and advice. I had to travel two hours to get there and I would gladly do it again.
Dr. Amin is the best! It's worth a drive across town to work with her. Highly recommend.

How Is Hyperopia Diagnosed?
Hyperopia is diagnosed through a comprehensive eye exam that evaluates how clearly you see at different distances and how well your eyes focus. Because mild hyperopia doesn't always cause noticeable symptoms, especially in children and younger adults, regular eye exams are important for identifying vision changes before they begin interfering with daily activities. Our team will ask about any blurry vision, headaches, eyestrain, or difficulty with close-up tasks to better understand your concerns.
During your examination, we may perform a visual acuity test to measure your vision and a refraction test to determine whether corrective lenses can improve your clarity. Additional testing may assess how effectively your eyes focus and work together. In some cases, dilating eye drops may be used to relax the focusing muscles and obtain a more accurate measurement, particularly in children. Based on your results, our team will explain the degree of farsightedness present and discuss whether glasses, contact lenses, or other vision correction options may be appropriate for your needs.
