Hypermetropia occurs when light is focused behind the retina. In reality, light cannot actually be focused behind the retina.
Hypermetropia (far sightedness) In hypermetropia, the eyeball is too short or the refractive power of the cornea and lens are too weak, and light from a near object is focused behind the retina.
Hyperopia (or more rarely, hypermetropia), also known as farsightedness or longsightedness, is a defect of vision caused by an imperfection in the eye (often when the eyeball is too short), causing inability to focus on near objects, ...
Long-sightedness (hypermetropia) Problem: the eyeball is too short when compared with the focusing power of the cornea and lens.

Main types of refractive errors are myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia or hypermetropia (long-sightedness), astigmatism and presbyopia. Glasses, contact lenses and laser surgery can be used to correct focusing problems.
Problems with the eye muscles (strabismus, or crossed eyes), refractive problems (astigmatism, myopia, hypermetropia), rapid movement of the eyeballs (nystagmus) and problems with the nerves of the eyes are common.

A contact lens neutralizes this mismatch and allows for correct focusing of light onto the retina. Conditions correctable with contact lenses include near (or short) sightedness (myopia), far (or long) sightedness (hypermetropia), ...
