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?
Those with hyperopia may not even know it until their close-up vision begins to be hazy. The inability to focus on objects near the eyes is typically the most dominant sign of being farsighted. However, hyperopia that isn’t affecting vision yet or has been left untreated does frequently cause eye fatigue, also known as asthenopia. The consistent strain on the eyes that comes from working on certain tasks, such as studying, typing, or using the computer, can cause headaches, dry and sore eyes, and tension in the upper body. Individuals who currently use corrective lenses for hyperopia but are still having these symptoms should have an eye exam to find out if their prescription needs to be changed.
Advanced Vision & Achievement Center Reviews
The entire staff are very welcoming and professional. Eye exams are quick, pain-free, and easy. I canβt wait to get my new specs!!ππ
Dr. Hardy and her team are amazing! I appreciate AVAC for being open to scheduling 3 appts back to back for me and my kids. I also thought it was going to take a while to get through the exam and finding the right glasses for all of us but they were so efficient and quick on the process, we were done within an hour! This included having a new patient and making sure everyones needs were met! 10/10 would recommend to everyone!
Great staff, they take their time and discuss everything and Dr. Hardy is amazing.
I am so grateful for Dr. Amin! I have had concerns about my vision for years and she is the first doctor that took my concerns seriously and gave me actual answers and a path forward. Highly recommend!
I've been coming here for a few years now for my annual eye exams! The doctor's are always very nice as well as the staff! There's lots of parking here and a nice waiting room. This time I saw Dr. Leach. He was great and recommended some supplements to help with my vision! I didn't have time during this appointment to look at frames, but they do have a nice selection. In the past I have purchased glasses from here, and it has always been a seamless experience. Definitely recommend this place for all of your ophthalmology needs!
