Index: Age related changes in refractive index (cortical sclerosis) can cause hypermetropia. Another cause of index hypermetropia is diabetes. [2] Occasionally, mild hypermetropic shift may be seen in association with cortical or subcapsular cataract also. [12] Positional: Positional hypermetropia occur due to posterior dislocation of Lens or ...
People with hyperopia have blurry vision when viewing near objects because the eye is unable to focus the light sufficiently. This can be corrected with convex lenses, which cause light rays to converge prior to hitting the cornea. [14] Presbyopia: When the flexibility of the lens declines, typically due to age. The individual would experience ...
While the common theories regarding vision issues during flight focus on cardiovascular factors (fluid shift, intracranial hypertension, CO 2 exposure, etc.), the difficulty comes in trying to explain how on any given mission, breathing the same air and exposed to the same microgravity, why some crewmembers have vision issues while others do ...
One cause of significant anisometropia and subsequent aniseikonia has been aphakia. Aphakic patients do not have a crystalline lens. The crystalline lens is often removed because of opacities called cataracts. The absence of this lens left the patient highly hyperopic (farsighted) in that eye.
Several mechanisms may explain the increase in the amount of higher-order aberrations with conventional excimer laser refractive procedures: a change in corneal shape toward oblateness or prolateness (after myopic and hyperopic ablations respectively), insufficient optical zone size and imperfect centration.
Normal accommodation allows the eye to "accommodate" for near-vision. However, in a state of perpetual contraction, the ciliary muscle cannot relax when viewing distant objects. This causes vision to blur when attempting to view objects from a distance. This may cause pseudomyopia or latent hyperopia.
Visual or vision impairment (VI or VIP) is the partial or total inability of visual perception.In the absence of treatment such as corrective eyewear, assistive devices, and medical treatment, visual impairment may cause the individual difficulties with normal daily tasks, including reading and walking.

Speech therapy, supportive care [4] Frontal lobe disorder , also frontal lobe syndrome , is an impairment of the frontal lobe of the brain due to disease or frontal lobe injury . [ 5 ] The frontal lobe plays a key role in executive functions such as motivation, planning, social behaviour, and speech production.
