Disease relevance of Hyperopia

 

Psychiatry related information on Hyperopia

  • First, there is need for further investigation of 1) the role of culture in determining visual performance and 2) the relationship of visual performance patterns to social behavior, beyond that which has already been done, for example, with myopia and hyperopia [6].
  • Soldiers wit abnormal stereopsis, myopia, hyperopia more than 1.75, or astigmatism over 0.50 diopters, were omitted [7].
 

High impact information on Hyperopia

  • Extreme hyperopia is the result of null mutations in MFRP, which encodes a Frizzled-related protein [2].
  • A cloned copy of the gene will enable examination of the relationship, if any, between nanophthalmos and less severe forms of hyperopia and between nanophthalmos and other conditions in which angle-closure glaucoma is a feature [3].
  • In patients with intact lenses the vision became more myopic or less hyperopic following the administration of glucose, but in the aphakic eyes hyperopia increased [8].
  • Older individuals had shallower ACDs, thicker lenses, more NOP, and more hyperopia compared to younger individuals (P < 0.001) [9].
  • Genetic effects are of major importance in myopia/hyperopia; astigmatism appears to be dominantly inherited [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Hyperopia

 

Anatomical context of Hyperopia

  • Twelve month postoperative data were obtained on 25 eyes with refractions of +1.00 to +4.00 diopters (D) that had been treated for hyperopia with the VISX Star excimer laser, using blunt scrape or the rotary brush to remove the corneal epithelium [15].
  • AIM: To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the optical versus ultrasonic measurement of anterior chamber depth (ACD) in a group of patients affected by high myopia or hyperopia, before phakic IOL implant [16].
  • The occurrence of a defect (nerve fiber loss) in the retinal nerve fiber layer in severe myopia (5/59, 8%) was also greater than that in either emmetropia or hyperopia (2/144, 1%; P = 0.0229) [17].
  • Multifocal lenses and surgically induced multifocal corneas have the potential to eliminate not only myopia and hyperopia but also the loss of accommodation resulting from the pseudophakic state [18].
