Whether or not glasses are needed for hyperopia should be judged according to the specific situation. In the case of physiological hyperopia with a low degree of severity in children, it can be observed without the need to wear glasses to correct it. For pathologic hyperopia, glasses are needed.
First of all, not all refractive errors such as hyperopia need to be corrected with glasses. For younger children, the presence of a low degree of hyperopia can have a positive effect on the prevention and control of myopia. Premature fading of physiologic hyperopia will increase the probability of myopia and high myopia, and lens correction is not necessary for physiologic hyperopia.
In addition to the above, if the degree of hyperopia in children exceeds the scope of physiological hyperopia, and if the hyperopia in adolescents and adults affects their vision, optometry and lens correction can play an important role in the prevention and control of amblyopia and the improvement of the quality of life and work.
It is recommended to go to a professional organization for an accurate optometry to determine whether correction of hyperopia is necessary, based on the specific developmental stage and the impact on vision.
