Hyperopia
MONDO:0004891A refractive error in which rays of light entering the eye parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus behind the retina, as a result of the eyeball being too short from front to back. It is also called farsightedness because the near point is more distant than it is in emmetropia with an equal amplitude of accommodation. (Dorland, 27th ed)
Also known as: hypermetropia

Wearable tech takes on the myopia epidemic: a School-Based trial
Prevention Recruiting nowThis trial tests whether a wearable device that tracks and reminds children to spend more time outdoors can help prevent nearsightedness (myopia). Primary school students with adequate hyperopic reserve—a natural buffer against myopia—will be randomly assigned to either a program…

Ear seeds: a Needle-Free hope against childhood nearsightedness?
Prevention Recruiting nowThis trial tests whether auricular acupressure—small adhesive patches with seeds placed on specific ear points—can prevent myopia in children who are at higher risk. Primary school students in grades 1-4 with insufficient hyperopic reserve (a sign they may become nearsighted) wil…
