3) The non-lens wearing eye also allowing them to function visually, as the
hyperopic OK made them artificially myopic.
Some of these considerations are also of relevance for
hyperopic LASIK.
22,23) Similar to orthokeratology, the use of a multifocal contact lens alters the peripheral image shell thus reducing the relative peripheral
hyperopic defocus thought to be influential in axial growth.
However, no
hyperopic shift or decrease in AL was observed with segmental band.
In the mild myopic and
hyperopic groups, we found the foveal retinal and parafoveal thicknesses were significantly greater 1 day after surgery ( t = 4.
Contrast sensitivity at higher spatial frequency was lower with
hyperopic refraction values.
As the eye globe becomes more flattened, the astronauts become
hyperopic, or far-sighted.
Most patients are females, young and less
hyperopic than those with pupillary block; often they have a positive family history of angle closure glaucoma.
Myopic and
hyperopic refractive error in adults: an overview.
Pregnancy is a risk factor for central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), which usually causes a
hyperopic shift.
Taking the students studied as a whole,
hyperopic spherical equivalent was most common in all specific ages.
DSEK on the other hand induces no significant changes in corneal topography and therefore the refractive outcomes after triple DSEK are more predictable, although a mild postoperative
hyperopic shift may be observed [8].
