Hypertropia [edit on Wikidata] Hypertropia is a condition of misalignment of the eyes (strabismus), whereby the visual axis of one eye is higher than the fellow fixating eye. Hypotropia is the similar condition, focus being on the eye with the visual axis lower than the fellow fixating eye. Dissociated Vertical Deviation is a special type of hypertropia leading to slow upward drift of one or rarely both eyes, usually when the patient is inattentive.

- Ectropion is an outward turning of the lower eyelid, most commonly caused by aging. Normally, the eyelids help lubricate and cleanse the eye during blinking. An eyelid that is drooping and has lost contact with the eye can cause dry eyes, excessive tearing, redness and sensitivity to light and wind.

Astigmatism Hyperopia and Myopia Symptoms & Causes This is the opposite of hyperopia. 1  Myopia is the most common refractive error seen in children. 2  This condition makes distant objects appear out of focus and may cause headaches and/or eye strain. 3  You may notice that your child sits close to the television and often squints to better see distant objects.

- Damage to the retina from high blood pressure is called hypertensive retinopathy. It occurs as the existing high blood pressure causes changes to the microvasculature of the retina.

Aphakia [edit on Wikidata] Aphakia is the absence of the lens of the eye, due to surgical removal, a perforating wound or ulcer, or congenital anomaly. It causes a loss of accommodation, far sightedness (hyperopia), and a deep anterior chamber. Complications include detachment of the vitreous or retina, and glaucoma.

- strabismus stra·bis·mus (strə-bĭz'məs) n. A visual defect in which one eye cannot focus with the other on an objective because of imbalance of the eye muscles. Also called heterotropia, squint, tropia.

Esotropia Esotropia is a form of strabismus, or “squint,” in which one or both eyes turns inward.The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a cross-eyed appearance.sotropia is a form of strabismus, or “squint,” in which one or both eyes turns inward.

Learning More About: Farsightedness Learning More About: Farsightedness What does it mean to show farsightedness? How is farsighted vision corrected? Farsightedness: An Overview. Farsighted (also called hyperopia) is a term to describe an eye condition that lets you clearly see objects far or distant in your field of vision, while objects that are near appear blurry or hazy. Due to the nature of this type of vision problem, farsightedness can affect vision in different ways.

Making Sense of Hypertensive Retinopathy In some cases, the retina becomes swollen. Over time, high blood pressure can cause damage to the retina’s blood vessels, limit the retina’s function, and put pressure on the optic nerve, causing vision problems. This condition is called hypertensive retinopathy (HR). Advertisement.

Quadrantanopia Homonymous inferior quadrantanopia is a loss of vision in the same lower quadrant of visual field in both eyes whereas a homonymous superior quadrantanopia is a loss of vision in the same upper quadrant of visual field in both eyes.

Strabismus (Lazy Eye) and Heterophoria The condition is referred to as exotropia or divergent strabismus if the eye not used is directed outward, and convergent strabismus if directed inward, while the terms used to describe the condition in cases where the inactive eye is directed upward or downward are hypertropia and hypotropia respectively.

- This causes light rays to focus at a point in front of the retina, rather than directly on its surface. Concave lenses are used to correct the problem. MYOPIA Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is when light entering the eye focuses behind the retina. Hyperoptic eyes are shorter than normal.

Myopia (Nearsighted), Hyperopia (Farsighted), Astigmatism Myopia (Nearsighted), Hyperopia (Farsighted), Astigmatism. Myopia, Hyperopia and Astigmatism Cause Blurred Vision. Myopia is Commonly called Nearsightedness. Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, occurs when light rays focus in front of the retina instead of on the retina, and therefore causes blurry distance vision. Light focuses in front of the retina if the eye is too long or the refractive power of the eye (primarily the cornea or crystalline lens) too strong.

Hyperopia Defined Farsightedness, also known as hyperopia, is a common type of refractive error where distant objects may be seen more clearly than objects that are near.However, people experience farsightedness differently. Some people may not notice any problems with their vision, especially when they are young.arsightedness develops in eyes that focus images behind the retina instead of on the retina, which can result in blurred vision. This occurs when the eyeball is too short, which prevents incoming light from focusing directly on the retina. It may also be caused by an abnormal shape of the cornea or lens.

Far-sightedness Far-sightedness, also known as hyperopia, is a condition of the eye in which light is focused behind, instead of on, the retina. This results in close objects appearing blurry, while far objects may appear normal. As the condition worsens, objects at all distances may be blurry. Other symptoms may include headaches and eye strain. People may also experience accommodative dysfunction, binocular dysfunction, amblyopia, and strabismus. The cause is an imperfection of the eyes. Often it occurs when

Ocular Hypertension Ocular hypertension is a condition in which the following criteria are met: 1  An intraocular pressure greater than 21 mm Hg in one or both eyes, as measured by applanation tonometry on 2 or more occasions. 2  Absence of glaucomatous defects on visual-field testing. 3  Normal appearance of the optic disc and nerve fiber layer.

Heterophoria Heterophoria is an eye condition in which the directions that the eyes are pointing at rest position, when not performing binocular fusion, are not the same as each other, or, not straight. There can be esophoria, where the eyes tend to cross inward in the absence of fusion; exophoria, in which they diverge; or hyperphoria, in which one eye points up or down relative to the other.

What is a Lung Granuloma? Granulomas are nodules caused by inflammation. The inflammation may be the result of infectious or noninfectious causes. Granulomas in the lung typically do not produce any symptoms, but may be detected when a chest x-ray is done for another reason. Infectious causes of lung granulomas. Infections are the most common cause of lung granulomas, and these infections often involve mycobacteria or fungi. [1] Mycobacteria include tuberculosis as well as organisms that are referred to jointly as nontuberculous mycobacteria (NMT). NMT are found in water and soil.

Hypertension and Your Eyes: The Connection Without treatment, hypertension can lead to bleeding in the eye, blurred vision, damage to the optic nerve, glaucoma, and vision loss. If you find that your peripheral vision is becoming blurry, schedule a visit to your eye doctor immediately because this could be a sign of glaucoma.

Medical Information on Hypermetropia Hypermetropia is also known as 'long-sight'. This means that a child who is 'long-sighted' is more likely to see better at 'long' distance than 'short'. Often children with Hypermetropia can see clearly when watching the television or the blackboard but may find reading a book difficult.

Eye health guide Ocular hypertension causes. High pressure inside the eye is usually due to problems with production of fluid in the eye – called aqueous humour – or drainage problems with ducts being blocked. If fluid builds up and the natural pressure valves in the eye don’t work, pressure is put on the optic nerve and can damage it over time. Ocular hypertension symptoms

(Adapted from http://www.hemianopsia.net/) A homonymous hemianopia is the loss of part of the field of view on the same side, in both eyes. It occurs frequently in stroke and traumatic brain injuries due to the way vision is represented in the brain.
