Pathogenesis (development of disease)
The cause of hyperopia is a mismatch between the refractive power and the axial length of the eyeball. This results in a focal point behind the retina. This leads to the fact that on the retina only a blurred image is shown. Thus, only objects distant from the eye can be seen sharply.
Etiology (causes)
Biographic causes
- Genetic burden from parents, grandparents.
- Age of life – increasing age
