Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is an eye disorder where distant objects are usually seen clearly, but close ones do not come into proper focus and are blurred. This occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea is too flat, and light rays entering the eye focus behind the retina rather than directly on it.

Myopia is nearsightedness while hyperopia is farsightedness.

Farsightedness treatment
Herbs and natural supplements can help. In cases the farsightedness is mild, certain natural supplements can offer significant help. A cure is unreasonable to expect if the condition is a severe farsightedness.

Improve Vision Naturally
I am glad to report that the proper use of many nutrients can help restore, at least partially, the magic of seeing that some of you may have long forgotten existed. After you try Eyesight Rx or some of the other vision supplements listed below, you may even take a vision test on a Snellen chart to see if your vision is better. Some people use Eyesight Rx for blurry vision or night vision.

Eyesight Rx for Low Vision
Supports Vision Health
Physician Formulas
Developed by Ray Sahelian, M.D.

Unlike some vision products that provide nutrients and herbs for long term healthy vision support, and prevention of visual impairment, but don't seem to have much of an immediate effect on visual acuity, Eyesight Rx was formulated to provide a quick and noticeable vision improvement within hours or days of use.

Reports from Eyesight Rx users indicate enhanced clarity of vision, colors being brighter, better focus, and overall improvement in close and distance vision. We've had reports of some people noticing this effect within a half hour, while most people notice improved vision within hours. Still others will realize their vision is sharper the next morning when they take their second dose.

Farsightedness Research Update
A survey of clinical prescribing philosophies for farsightedness.
Optom Vis Sci. 2004 Apr;81(4):233-7.
Prescribing philosophies for hyperopic refractive error in symptom-free children vary widely because relatively little information is available regarding the natural history of hyperopic refractive error in children and because accommodation and binocular function closely related to hyperopic refractive error vary widely among children. We surveyed pediatric optometrists and ophthalmologists to evaluate typical prescribing philosophies for farsightedness. METHODS: Practitioners were selected from the American Academy of Optometry Binocular Vision, Perception, and Pediatric Optometry Section; the College of Vision Development; the pediatric and binocular vision faculty members of the colleges of optometry; and the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus. Surveys were mailed to 314 participants: 212 optometrists and 102 ophthalmologists. RESULTS: A total of 161 (75%) of the optometrists and 59 (57%) of the ophthalmologists responded. About one-third of optometrists surveyed prescribe optical correction for symptom-free 6-month-old infants with +3.00 D to +4.00 D farsightedness, but fewer than 5% of ophthalmologists prescribe at this level. Most eye care practitioners prescribe optical correction for symptom-free 2-year-old children with +5.00 D of farsightedness, and this criterion for farsightedness decreases with age. Most ophthalmologists (71.4%) prescribe the full amount of astigmatism and less than the full amount of cycloplegic spherical component, and most optometrists (71.6%) prescribe less than the full amount of both components. When prescribing less than the full amount of astigmatism, eye care practitioners do not tend to prescribe a specific proportion of the cycloplegic refractive error. CONCLUSION: Pediatric eye care providers show a lack of consensus on prescribing philosophies for children with farsightedness.
