Differential diagnosis of hyperopia
There are multiple conditions that could be interlapped or wrongfully diagnosed as hyperopia and should be kept in mind while diagnosing hyperopia such as:
-
- ptosis which may give a false picture of a small eye
- retinal edema
- nanophthalmous, in which the patient has normal structure of the eye, but the eye is smaller in size than normal eye
- microphthalmos, the patient’s eye is smaller in size with a structural abnormality
- Posterior microphthalmos
- Tumor mass in the posterior chambre of the eye
- Posterior scleritis
