3. Burning sensation
A burning sensation around the eyes is a common symptom of hyperopia. It’s worth noting, however, that there are some other conditions that may lead to the same symptom. For instance, wearing your contact lenses for extended periods of time could actually produce the same burning sensation that patients with hyperopia experience. Smog, dust, and dander could also cause burning.
That being said, you’ll likely be able to distinguish between burning from other causes and burning as a symptom of hyperopia if you notice it occurring in conjunction with the other symptoms on this list. There are even some cases where the burning sensation only manifests whenever one is looking at something that’s close to them or reading a book. Whether the burning is a result of hyperopia or another ocular condition entirely, it’s wise to get it checked by an ophthalmologist so that any underlying problem can be nipped at the bud.
