Farsightedness treatment in General Escobedo

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.
