| Abstract: | Purpose: To investigate the proportion of hyperopia among people with
20/20 uncorrected visual acuity
Methods: We prospectively evaluated the percentage of hyperopia in 113 consecutive
eyes of 70 patients with 20/20 uncorrected visual acuity and no ocular diseases. The
mean (±standard deviation) age of the group was 55±11 (ranging 15 to 88) years old. The
spherical equivalent of the subject refraction was used for the analysis.
Results: The percentage of hyperopia (≧＋0.25D) in the population was 53%.
Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first report that investigated the percentage of
hyperopia in a group of people with 20/20 uncorrected visual acuity. We should recognize
that eyes with 20/20 uncorrected visual acuity comprise a substantial proportion of
hyperopia. |
