Often, far-off objects are blurry as well. Farsightedness, or hyperopia, is a common vision problem, affecting about a fourth of the population. People with hyperopia can see distant objects very well, but have difficulty seeing objects that are up close. What Causes Hyperopia? This vision problem occurs when light rays entering the eye focus behind the retina , rather than directly on it. The eyeball of a farsighted person is shorter than normal. Many children are born with hyperopia, and some of them "outgrow" it as the eyeball lengthens with normal growth.

Overview. http://www.stlukeseye.com/farsightedness.htm

Farsightedness (Hyperopia) Overview Farsightedness or hyperopia , occurs when light entering the eye focuses behind the retina , instead of directly on it. This is caused by a cornea that is flatter, or an eye that is shorter, than a normal eye. Farsighted people usually have trouble seeing up close, but may also have difficulty seeing far away as well. Young people with mild to moderate hyperopia are often able to see clearly because their natural lens can adjust, or accommodate to increase the eye’s focusing ability. However, as the eye gradually loses the ability to accommodate (beginning at about 40 years of age), blurred vision from hyperopia often becomes more apparent. Signs and Symptoms Difficulty seeing up close Blurred distance vision (occurs with higher amounts of hyperopia) Eye fatigue when reading Eye strain (headaches, pulling sensation, burning) Crossed eyes in children Detection and Diagnosis Hyperopia is detected with a vision test called a refraction. Young patients’ eyes are dilated for this test so they are unable to mask their farsightedness with accommodation. This is called a wet refraction.

Symptoms Blurred vision Difficulty seeing objects up close Crossing of the eyes in children (Esotropia) The symptoms described above may not necessarily mean that you have hyperopia However, if you experience one or more of these symptoms, contact your eye doctor for a complete exam.

Farsightedness Back to Other Specialities Substation What is farsightedness? Farsightedness, or hyperopia, as it is medically termed, is a vision condition in which distant objects are usually seen clearly. But, close ones are not brought into proper focus. Why does farsightedness occur? If the length of your eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, near objects cannot be brought into a sharp and clearly focused image. Some theorists believe that farsightedness is hereditary and others believe that it may result from environmental factors. How does farsightedness affect vision? If you are farsighted, you involuntarily exert extra effort to maintain clear distance vision and even greater effort to see clearly at close range. This extra effort can cause fatigue, tension and discomfort. If the crystalline lens of the eye cannot bring the object into focus, blurred vision occurs. How common is farsightedness? What are signs/symptoms of farsightedness? Common signs/symptoms of farsightedness include difficulty in concentrating and maintaining a clear focus on near objects, blurred vision, eye strain, fatigue and/or headaches after close work, aching or burning eyes, poor reading ability and general tension, irritability or nervousness after sustained concentration. How is farsightedness detected?

Farsightedness, also known as hyperopia, is the inability to focus on objects that are close to the eyes. It is caused by an eyeball that is too short, causing light rays to focus behind the retina, instead of directly on the retina, which is necessary for normal vision. Farsightedness usually starts in childhood and typically stabilizes in the late teens or early adulthood.

Farsightedness (Hyperopia) Farsightedness (hyperopia) is a vision condition in which distant objects are seen clearly, but close ones do not come into proper focus. This common condition occurs if your eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, so light entering your eye is not focused correctly. Common signs of farsightedness includes difficulty in concentrating and maintaining a clear focus on near objects, eye strain, fatigue and/or headaches after close work, aching or burning eyes, irritability or nervousness after sustained concentration. In mild cases of farsightedness, your eyes may be able to compensate without corrective lenses. In other cases, eyeglasses or contact lenses may correct this condition by altering the way the light enters your eyes.

To quote an instance, she played a great part in bringing back to the Hindu fold brave soldier like Bajaji Nimbalkar who had embraced Islam. He was a valiant general. To allow such a person to remain on the side of the enemies would weaken the Maratha Kingdom. In those days many people were opposed to such a move. They argued that once a Hindu was converted to another faith he could not be admitted again to the Hindu faith. It required much courage to say that if a Hindu converts wished to return to Hinduism, he should be welcomed. Jija Matha persuaded every one that her view was reasonable. She did not stop at that. After getting Nimbalkar back to the Hindu faith she also gave Shivaji's daughter Sakhubai in marriage to his son Mahadaji. What love of her religion And how liberal-minded!
