Hypermetropia is usually diagnosed with a simple glasses test using a special torch (retinoscope) and lenses to measure how your eye focuses
Long sight can be easily corrected with glasses or contact lenses, using convex (curved outwards) lenses, which move the focus of the light forward onto the retina, allowing you to see clearly.
Laser eye surgery is also an option, but is not usually available on the NHS.
To find out more about laser and implant-based techniques for hypermetropia, please contact Moorfields Private, our unit for fee-paying patients.
You can self-fund or use private medical insurance to fund your treatment.
