Total Hypemetropia Is The Total Amount Of Refractive Error, Which Is Estimated After Complete Cycloplegia With Atropine. It Consists Of Latent And Manifest Hypermetropia.

1. Latent Hypermetropia Implies The Amount Of Hypermetropia ( About 1D ) Which Is Normally Corrected By The Inherent Tone Of Ciliary Muscle.

2. Manifest Hypermetropia Is The Remaining Portion Of Total Hypermetropia, Which Is Not Corrected By The Ciliary Tone. It Consist Of Two Components, The Facultative And The Absolute Hypermetropia.
