(1) It should include a cycloplegic refraction to tule out excessive farsightedness, nearsightedness, astigmatism, or unequal refraction in the two eyes.

(3) This is due to the wisdom and farsightedness of King Abdul Aziz Al-Saud, who, to reorganize the Saudi-Arabian people and establish his sovereignty, adopted the divine law of the Koran, the Sharia, as the only law applicable to control all individual and social relationships and to combat crime.
(4) The Finnish Twin Cohort material was used to estimate genetic and environmental effects in the etiology of hyperopia (farsightedness).
(5) During his time at Glasgow, Bob had isolated stem cells from early rabbit embryos, work which similarly displayed the farsightedness that pervaded his research.
Hyperopia
Definition:
(n.) Hypermetropia.
Example Sentences:
(1) Hyperopia was more common in younger persons, but senile cataract, macular degeneration and palpebral dermatochalasis or blepharochalasis were more common in older persons.
(2) Special education students had a higher incidence of uncorrected hyperopia and binocular dysfunction.
(3) We investigated a nonsurgical means of reshaping the cornea to correct hyperopia, keratoconus, or myopia.
(4) Relative hyperopia may persist, in spite of complete removal of the tumor.
(5) We conclude that the causes of the ESR elevation are more significant risk factors for CRVO, and systemic hypertension and hyperopia continue to be the main risk factors for BRVO.
(6) Ametropias showed a prevalence of 51.9%; the most common refractive defect was myopia followed by astigmatism and hyperopia.
(7) Complete optical constants and physical dimensions are presented for eight ametropic rhesus eyes in the range from -11.00 diopters of myopia to +8.00 diopters of hyperopia and compared with the same measurements from 40 essentially emmetropic normal control eyes.
(8) Significant differences between the younger and older normals existed for all types of refractive error except hyperopia in only one eye.
(9) The patient and his family had many congenital anomalies including hereditary brachydactyly, syndactyly, and hyperopia.

(11) Usually soft lenses are well tolerated, so that patients suffering from aphakia as well as hyperopia should always use this type of lense.
(12) At the time of entry into the USAF, refractive error data were clustered around emmetropia with a definite skew toward hyperopia.
(13) Phakic eyes develop 5-7 diopters of hyperopia when the vitreous cavity is filled with silicone oil, and this puts them in the same range as the silicone oil filled aphakic eyes.
(14) This experiment showed that in every instance the cycloplegic estimate was equal to or greater in hyperopia or less in myopia than when performed without drugs.
(15) Contrary to previous reports, we do not find consistent high hyperopia in the rat, but rather refractions that range from near emmetropia (-0.12 D) to extreme hyperopia (+18.95 D).
(16) A new approach to surgical correction of hyperopia (including aphakia) is advanced.
(17) Although the latter is possible, the hyperopia may be coincidental and masking an underlying mechanism.
(18) We reduced the enlarged blind spot in a patient with focal peripapillary hyperopia, without papilledema, to near normal size by using progressively stronger plus lenses.
