Hypermetropia is usually diagnosed with a simple glasses test using a special torch (retinoscope) and lenses to measure how your eye focuses
Moorfields Private offers three main vision correction options to treat hypermetropia (long-sightedness) and remove the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Using a laser to reshape the cornea
Soft, flexible implants to correct your vision
Replacing the natural lens with a synthetic implant
Long sight can be easily corrected with glasses or contact lenses, using convex (curved outwards) lenses, which move the focus of the light forward onto the retina, allowing you to see clearly.
Lines are open Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm excluding bank holidays for general enquiries or to book an appointment.
