Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is a vision condition where close objects appear blurry while distant objects remain clear. It occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea is too flat, causing light to focus behind the retina. This can make reading, using a phone, or doing close-up tasks more difficult, while distance vision stays sharper.

It’s a common condition and can be easily managed with the right lenses. Regular eye exams help detect hyperopia early and ensure your vision stays comfortable and clear.

Offering full scope optometric services, we provide our patients with the highest standard of care. Using leading-edge technologies and offering a wide selection of high-quality lenses, frames and contact lenses, our professional, friendly team aims to provide a service that is unmatched.

The holidays are all about fun, and a little awareness goes a long way in keeping playtime safe. Some toys, including laser pointers, can pose risks to children’s eyes, so it’s helpful to keep an eye on how they're used and choose gifts that suit a child's age.

If a child’s eye is exposed to a laser or you notice any sudden changes in their vision, getting it checked promptly is the best step.

For guidance or urgent eye care, we're here to help.
