Hypermetropia
Eye Condition
Refers to a vision issue, not general health; specific to eyesight challenges with near objects.

Wearing glasses helps people with hypermetropia see up close.
Not Near-Sightedness
Contrary to myopia, hypermetropia is trouble with nearby vision; knowing the difference avoids confusion.

Unlike my sister who has myopia, I have hypermetropia.
Medical Context
Primarily used in medical or optometry contexts; not common in casual conversations.

The optometrist may prescribe bifocals for those suffering from hypermetropia.
