(1) We report a case of a 4-year-old boy with Adie's syndrome in which latent hypermetropia was made manifest by accommodative paresis and resulted in reversible amblyopia.
(2) The presence of +2.00 or more D of spherical hypermetropia in both eyes, or +1.00 or more D sphere or cylinder of anisometropia was significantly associated (P=0.0779%) with that child being identified 2+ years later as having either squint or amblyopia or both.
(3) In this article we discuss the pathogenesis of ODD and the possible connection between this entity and "high" hypermetropia.
(4) Atkinson has shown that early correction of hypermetropia reduces the incidence of esotropia.
(5) On the other hand A. v. Graefe could not accept Donders' view that hypermetropia in itself can cause convergent strabismus.
(6) The fact of wearing positive correction produces and consolidates a hypo-accommodation, revealing a latent hypermetropia which could compromise emmetropisation.
(7) The author presents a detailed analysis of hypermetropia.
(8) The possibility that meridional hypermetropia could be the basic defect in squint and amblyopia is discussed.

(10) The ocular anomalies consisted of bilateral hypermetropia, microcornea, anterior chamber cleavage syndrome with prominent Wölfflin nodes, and cartwheel configuration of the anterior iris leaf.
(11) A case of bilateral cornea plana with high hypermetropia is reported in a 20-year-old woman.
(12) Children from a population sample whose cycloplegic refractive errors included myopia, pre-myopia and hypermetropia were compared on measures of IQ and reading with a group of children without significance refractive errors.
(13) There was increasing hypermetropia with increasing age, probably due to unmasked, latent hypermetropia up to the age of 70 years and to a true shift toward hypermetropia after the age of 70 years.
(14) The inventor discusses instrument design and treatment procedures, and suggests an explanation for the movement of juvenile eyes from hypermetropia into myopia.
(15) Anisometropia is not significantly associated with esotropia (P = 0-31) unless there is spherical hypermetropia of +2-00 dioptres or more in the more emmetropic eye (P less than 0-001).
(16) The third question, whether esotropia is more likely to occur in children who have increasing as opposed to decreasing hypermetropia, arose from the controversy whether, in the general population, refraction increases or decreases during the first years of life.
(17) This difference becomes more definite over time, since hypermetropia increased in the deviating eye in the esotropic cases while refractive errors remained stationary in most of the exotropic eyes.
(18) We report the case of a 41 year old lady with high hypermetropia and optic disc drusen (ODD) in both eyes.
(19) In this series amblyopia, uncorrectable by spectacles and occlusion, was highly likely (48%) if a child had +3.50 or more dioptres of meridional hypermetropia at age 1 year.
(20) Without any instrumental contact with the corneal surface, the laser beam is able to remodel the corneal tissue, and to treat astigmatism, myopia, hypermetropia.
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.
(10) 5 esotropias, 1 exotropia, 1 straight-eyed hypermetropic anisometropia of 4 diopters; 1 false positive high hyperopia (of +2.5 diopters) of both eyes.
(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.
(19) Over 30% of the high hyperopes developed strabismus by age 3 years, but none of the infants in the moderate hyperopia or family history groups developed strabismus.
(20) The authors handled 75 such cases by first prescribing spectacles for full correction of hyperopia, and surgical operations were performed to the residual esotropia after wearing the spectacles for 6 months.
