Hypermetropia
(||Hy`per*me*tro"pi*a Hy`per*met"ro*py) n. [NL. hypermetropia, fr. Gr. excessive + the
eye. See Hypermeter.] A condition of the eye in which, through shortness of the eyeball or fault of
the refractive media, the rays of light come to a focus behind the retina; farsightedness; — called also
hyperopia. Cf. Emmetropia.
In hypermetropia, vision for distant objects, although not better absolutely, is better than that for near
objects, and hence, the individual is said to be farsighted. It is corrected by the use of convex glasses.
