This document provides information about hypermetropia (farsightedness), including its definition, causes, types, clinical features, treatment, and management in different populations. Key points: - Hypermetropia is a refractive condition where light focuses behind the retina when accommodation is relaxed. - It can be caused by factors like short axial length, flat cornea curvature, or decreased lens refractive index. - Clinical features include defective near vision, eyestrain, and occasionally esotropia. - Treatment involves spectacles, contact lenses, or refractive surgery to use plus lenses to increase the optical power. - In children, full correction may not be needed if certain criteria are met, while
