The corrected image for hypermetropia correction is given below : 

There are many causes for this condition. It may occur when the axial length of eyeball is too short, or if the lens or cornea is flatter than normal. Changes in refractive index of lens, alterations in position of the lens or absence of lens are the other main causes.In hypermetropia, the cornea is flatter or the axial length is too short. Therefore, the images do not focus by the time they reach to the retina. For clear vision, a hypermetropic eye must accommodate to increase its lenticular power to bring distant objects in focus on retina.

 A person with hypermetropia/hyperopia or long sight can see clearly objects far away from them, but not close to them. This is caused by the shape of the eye - the eyeball is slightly too short. It is corrected by spectacles or contact lenses with lenses which are 'plus' or convex in shape.Nearsightedness (myopia) is a common vision condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. It occurs when the shape of your eye causes light rays to bend (refract) incorrectly, focusing images in front of your retina instead of on your retina.

Most commonly, farsightedness is caused by a cornea (clear layer at the front of the eye) that isn't curved enough, or by an eyeball that's too short. These two problems prevent light from focusing directly on the retina. Instead, light focuses behind the retina, which makes close-up objects look blurry.Hyperopia treatment aims to help light focus correctly on the retina. Corrective lenses or refractive surgery may achieve this.Farsighted people have better distance vision, while nearsighted people have the opposite (stronger near vision).

You can't prevent farsightedness, but you can help protect your eyes and your vision by following these tips:
  1. Have your eyes checked. ...
  2. Control chronic health conditions. ...
  3. Protect your eyes from the sun. ...
  4. Prevent eye injuries. ...
  5. Eat healthy foods. ...
  6. Don't smoke. ...
  7. Use the right corrective lenses. ...
  8. Use good lighting.
