There is no effective way to increase the reserve of hyperopia, and children need to develop good eye habits to slow down the rate of decrease of the reserve of hyperopia.
Hyperopia reserve refers to physiological hyperopia. It is normal for infants to have about 300 degrees of hyperopia when they are just born because of the short eye axis. It is normal. As the eye develops with age, the patient’s hyperopia gradually decreases and usually disappears around the age of 12. There is no treatment that can increase the patient’s hyperopia reserve.
There are no treatments available to increase the reserve. If the reserve disappears too quickly, this may indicate a higher risk of myopia in the future. Children need to develop good eye habits, avoid prolonged near eye use, and do more outdoor exercise to delay the loss of the reserve and reduce the risk of myopia.
Patients with pathologic hyperopia are advised to consult a hospital for evaluation of their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
