Nearsightedness (myopia) and Farsightedness (hyperopia or presbyopia) are well-known refractive errors or refractive eye diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are ...

Myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness) develop through different molecular pathways, according to a new study publishing October 9 in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by ...

Myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness) develop through different molecular pathways, according to a new study. The finding provides a new understanding of myopia, the most common ...

BOSTON — The Artisan hyperopia and myopia lenses (Ophtec USA, Boca Raton, Fla.) are performing well, according to results of studies presented at the annual American Society of Cataract and ...

Myopia, or nearsightedness, develops through a molecular pathway distinct from the pathway that leads to hyperopia, or farsightedness. Resolving the molecular blur behind blurred vision, say ...

Phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) are a possible treatment for myopia and hyperopia. The procedure involves permanently implanting phakic IOLs. They help correct refractive errors by refocusing ...

Certainly, depending on the IOL make, model, and optics, we know that certain amounts of myopia/hyperopia may be better tolerated. Conventional teaching is to leave patients slightly myopic.

The onset of myopia after the age of 6 has been observed to be associated with a greatly increased rate of myopic shift after several years of relatively stable refraction or slowly declining ...
