Myopia, Hyperopia & Presbyopia Treatment in Wilmington, Delaware

Refractive errors—such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and presbyopia—are among the most common causes of blurry vision. These conditions occur when the shape of the cornea or the eye prevents light from focusing properly on the retina. When the cornea is irregularly curved, it can also lead to astigmatism, another frequent source of blurred or distorted vision.

Fortunately, refractive errors are highly treatable. Eyeglasses, contact lenses, and advanced refractive surgeries like LASIK and PRK can restore clear, comfortable vision. Eye Physicians and Surgeons, P.A. has decades of experience helping patients throughout Wilmington and the surrounding Delaware communities see their best.

Myopia (Nearsightedness)

Myopia is the most common refractive condition. When the eye is longer than average or the cornea is too steep, light focuses in front of the retina, making distant objects appear blurry. Myopia can range from mild to severe and often begins in childhood.

Common signs include:

  • Squinting to see distant objects
  • Sitting close to screens
  • Holding books or devices close to the face

Myopia is easily diagnosed during a routine eye exam and can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive procedures such as LASIK, PRK, LASEK, and Epi‑LASIK. Our team can help determine the best option for your lifestyle and vision needs.

Hyperopia (Farsightedness)

Hyperopia occurs when the eye is shorter than normal or the cornea is too flat, causing light to focus behind the retina. As a result, close‑up tasks—reading, computer work, or sewing—may appear blurry, while distance vision often remains clearer.

Hyperopia may be present from childhood, but mild cases often go unnoticed until adulthood, especially when eye strain or fatigue develops during near work.
A comprehensive eye exam at Eye Physicians and Surgeons, P.A. will identify farsightedness. Treatment options include eyeglasses, contact lenses, and refractive surgeries such as LASIK, PRK, LASEK, Epi‑LASIK, and Conductive Keratoplasty (CK).

Presbyopia (Age‑Related Near Vision Loss)

Presbyopia is a natural part of aging. As the eye’s lens becomes less flexible—typically beginning in the early to mid‑40s—focusing on close objects becomes more difficult. Patients often notice they need more light to read or must hold reading material farther away.

Presbyopia is easily diagnosed during an eye exam, and several effective treatment options are available, including:

  • Prescription or over‑the‑counter reading glasses
  • Multifocal or monovision contact lenses
  • Refractive surgery such as LASIK or CK
  • Advanced implantable lenses, including ReSTOR® and Crystalens®
