Although hyperopia can be corrected with glasses, it is not hyperopia. Individuals who do not have distance vision impairment become unable to read newspapers and books anymore as a result of the hardening of the eye lens and losing its near focusing power after the age of 45.

This condition is called presbyopia. Usually, the use of close glasses will be needed. Multifocal glasses and multifocal contact lenses can also be used. Although it is advertised that some laser methods are beneficial, no laser method can correct presbyopia at the desired level and without impairing distant vision. The only surgical remedy is smart, trifocal lens surgery
