Sentences with HYPERMETROPIA (5)
First, hypermetropia, or morbidly long sight: in this affection, the organ, instead of being spherical, is too flat from front to back, and is often altogether too small, so that the retina is brought too forward for the focus of the humours; consequently a convex glass is required for clear vision of near objects, and frequently even of distant ones.
Years ago, when I taught school in a Minnesota village, I had never heard of adenoids, hypertrophied tonsils, myopia, hypermetropia, or the relation of these defects and of neglected teeth to malnutrition, truancy, sickness, and dullness.
Note: 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.
The enlargement of this angle, which is usually indicated as Angle a, is a peculiarity of the hypermetropic eye; and where we have an apparent divergent squint we may expect to find also hypermetropia, while an apparent convergent squint occurs occasionally in myopia of high degree.
For example, if there is convergent squint and hypermetropia in both eyes, but more hypermetropia in one than the other, in alternate fixation it will be found that the least hypermetropic eye always undergoes the greatest deviation, because in fixation with the more hypermetropic eye a stronger effort of accommodation unites itself with a corresponding innervation of the internal rectus, which is transferred equally to the other and non-fixing eye.
