ABSTRACT: Hyperopia is a common refractive error, particularly in young children.
Although its prevalence has not been studied to the same extent as myopia, knowledge of
its rates among the world population, its early detection and treatment is a matter of vital
importance, since moderate or high degrees of this refractive error may lead to other visual
impairment conditions. This review provides a summary of hyperopia prevalence rates in
the young and adult population worldwide.
