Farsightedness treatment in Benito Juárez (Quintana Roo)

Farsightedness is detected when near vision turns out blurry or strains the eyes, while distance vision is usually perceived with greater clarity. It is a common reason for a vision checkup.

Farsightedness is a refractive error in which the image tends to focus behind the retina, generally because the eye is a little shorter than usual.

Frequent symptoms:

• Difficulty focusing up close, for example when reading.
• Eye strain, headache, or a need to squint.

When to have it checked? An evaluation is worthwhile if near vision is fuzzy or fatigue appears when doing detailed tasks; in children it is useful to rule it out during school checkups.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist and the optometrist perform the vision exam. A professional evaluation makes it possible to measure the prescription and guide the most suitable options for each person.
