The problem
What is long-sightedness?
Long-sightedness (hyperopia) is a refractive error in which nearby objects look blurry, while distant ones are usually seen better. It happens when the eye is shorter than normal or the cornea or lens don't focus enough, and light is focused behind the retina instead of on it.
Most long-sighted people are born that way, and it is more likely if there are other cases in the family. In childhood the eye usually compensates by focusing harder, which is why it sometimes causes no problems until later on.
If it is mild, you may not notice anything. That's why it is a good idea to have your eyes checked regularly, especially children.
Symptoms of long-sightedness
Blurry near vision
When reading, on your phone or on the computer.
Eye strain
Tired or sore eyes after a while doing close-up work.
Headache
Especially when reading or at the end of the day.
In children: one eye turns
Some children have one eye that turns (squint, strabismus).
How it is detected
We measure it in your eye test
Long-sightedness is detected in an eye test. At LUPER it is personalised, for adults and children, takes 30 minutes and is free (worth €49).
- Medical historyYour eye history and your family's.
- Visual acuityHow well you see near and far, eye by eye.
- RefractionWe measure your exact prescription for your glasses or contact lenses.
- Check of the back of the eyeWe check the condition of the retina and the optic nerve.
If in the test we see something more than a prescription issue, we refer you to the ophthalmologist, who is the one who diagnoses and treats eye diseases.

Long-sightedness in children
Long-sightedness in children
It is common for children to be a little long-sighted. Their lens is very flexible and compensates by focusing harder, so many see well without help. But children with high long-sightedness have a higher risk of squint (strabismus) and lazy eye (amblyopia).
- Have their eyes checked even if they don't complainChildren hardly ever say they can't see well: they get used to it.
- Look out for the signsThey get tired when reading, have headaches or one eye turns.
- At LUPERFree eye test for children too. If we see a squint or lazy eye, we refer you to the ophthalmologist.
Not the same thing
Long-sightedness, short-sightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia
They are often confused, and it is common to have more than one at the same time.
The opposite
Long-sightedness and short-sightedness
With long-sightedness it is hard to see up close because light is focused behind the retina. With short-sightedness (myopia) the opposite happens: you can't see well in the distance because light is focused in front of it.
Very common
Long-sightedness with astigmatism
Astigmatism distorts vision at any distance. Both are corrected at the same time in the same pair of glasses or with toric contact lenses.
From the age of 40
Long-sightedness and presbyopia
Presbyopia (ageing eyes) comes with age and is not the same thing. If you are long-sighted, you may need help seeing up close earlier than other people.

Frequently asked questions about long-sightedness
What is long-sightedness?
It is a refractive error in which nearby objects look blurry. It happens when the eye is shorter than normal or the cornea or lens don't focus enough, and light is focused behind the retina instead of on it.
What are the symptoms of long-sightedness?
Blurry near vision, eye strain, sore eyes and headaches, especially when reading. In some children, one eye turns (squint, strabismus). If it is mild, it may cause no symptoms, which is why it is a good idea to get checked.
What is the difference between short-sightedness and long-sightedness?
They are opposite errors. With short-sightedness you can't see well in the distance because light is focused in front of the retina; with long-sightedness it is hard to see up close because it is focused behind it. Both are corrected with glasses or contact lenses.
Are long-sightedness and presbyopia the same?
No. Long-sightedness depends on the shape of the eye and is usually there from birth; presbyopia, or ageing eyes, appears with age, from 40 onwards. Long-sighted people also develop presbyopia and may need help seeing up close sooner. Varifocals correct both in a single pair of glasses.
Can you have long-sightedness with astigmatism?
Yes, it is very common. Astigmatism makes things look distorted at any distance. Both are corrected at the same time in the same pair of glasses or with toric contact lenses.
Is long-sightedness normal in children?
Yes, it is common and many children compensate for it without help because their lens is very flexible. But high long-sightedness increases the risk of squint and lazy eye, so it is a good idea to have their eyes checked even if they don't complain.
How is long-sightedness corrected?
With prescription glasses or contact lenses, which help focus light on the retina. For adults there is also refractive surgery, which must always be assessed by the ophthalmologist.
How much do glasses for long-sightedness cost?
At LUPER, prescription glasses with frame and single vision lenses cost from €49, and varifocals from €149. Plus, you get 2nd pair 50% off all year round. The final price depends on your prescription and the lens; we tell you during the eye test, which is free.
Can long-sightedness be prevented?
No, because most people are born with it and it is usually hereditary. What does help is having your eyes checked regularly and wearing the right prescription, to avoid discomfort such as eye strain or headaches.
Long-sightedness: causes, symptoms and correction
What is long-sightedness?
Long-sightedness (hyperopia) is a refractive problem of the eye that affects near vision: nearby objects look blurry and distant ones are usually seen more clearly. It happens when the eye is shorter than normal or when the cornea or lens aren't powerful enough, so the light rays are focused behind the retina.
Causes of long-sightedness
It has to do with the shape of the eye: a shorter eyeball, a flatter cornea or a lens that focuses less. It is usually hereditary and present from birth.
Symptoms
Difficulty seeing up close when reading or working on the computer, eye strain, sore eyes and headaches after close-up tasks. In children it can be linked to squint or lazy eye. If you notice them, book your eye test at LUPER.
Long-sightedness in children and adults
In childhood, mild long-sightedness that the eye compensates for is common. In adults, from 40 onwards presbyopia is added and it becomes harder to see up close without optical correction.
Glasses and contact lenses for long-sightedness
Prescription glasses are the most common way to correct long-sightedness: at LUPER, from €49 with frame and single vision lenses, and 2nd pair 50% off. Contact lenses are a comfortable alternative, including toric lenses for long-sightedness with astigmatism. If you also have presbyopia, varifocal glasses from €149 solve it in a single pair of glasses.
Long-sightedness with astigmatism and how it differs from short-sightedness
Long-sightedness often comes with astigmatism or presbyopia. And it should not be confused with short-sightedness: with short-sightedness you can't see well in the distance; with long-sightedness, up close.

Sonia Merino Santiago (Ayame)Hace 5 meses · LUPER Marcos Redondo
Vine en Abril a traer mis monturas a ponerle lentes, pedir presupuesto para mis monturas y el precio me ha gustado. Ademas de un trato excelente, buenos precios, grandes profesionales, magníficas promociones, únete a la familia Luper. Hoy ha comenzado mi primer día de muchos junto a esta magnífica empresa murcianica. Mil gracias!! En poco tendré mis preciosas gafas y el mes que viene otras al 50%. Puedes pagar unas y luego las otras. Fácil, sencillo, profesional e impecable. Te Dan tu informe oftalmológico detallado. Y me rellenan el tarrito limpiacristales para siempre gratis con mi compra. A que esperas?? Se lo he recomendado ya a todas mis amistades, porque lo bueno se comparte. Mil gracias!!
15/05 He llevado 4 monturas aprovechando el 50% para graduar mis gafas, una de ellas de sol. Y quedaron preciosas. Mil gracias siempre 💕

Trato humano muy bueno. La calidad de las gafas nefasta, propaganda engañosa en mi caso. Valoraré poner hoja de reclamaciones en consumo ya que la solución que me han dado a mi problema, cristales que se empañan nada más usarlos y montura defectuosa, es comprarme otras y pagar el 50% después de haber pagado por unas gafas, repito, defectuosas, más de 1000 euros.
No volveré, ni hablaré bien de ustedes.
Sandra Martinez SáezHace 2 semanas · LUPER San Pedro del Pinatar
Muy muy contenta. Me he elegido unas gafas preciosas y además he tenido 20 € de descuento. La chica que me atendió fue súper amable y simpática. ¡Sin duda, muy recomendable!
LAURA FERNANDEZ EGEAHace una semana · LUPER Marcos Redondo
Me compré dos gafas en mayo, me dijeron que tardaban 3 días y tardaron 3 semanas en dármelas. Cuando me las probé me mareé en la óptica. Me fui a casa y me las puse y tuve un mareo que me duro varias horas, no podía hacer nada ni cuidar de mi hijo. Fui a la óptica y me dijeron que no entendían que pasaba que era super raro. Me hicieron un cambio y me dieron otras gafas. Otra vez esperando una semana. Más de un mes sin gafas. Pues con las gafas nuevas también me mareaba pero menos. Fui y me decían que no entendían que pasaba que era muy raro. Al final me he ido a otra óptica y es que estaban mal graduadas y el centro óptico mal puesto. Me he gastado 180€ en perder el tiempo y dar vueltas y no tener gafas que me valgan.

Una experiencia magnífica desde el primer momento. El trato es cercano, amable y muy profesional, y se nota que realmente se preocupan por encontrar la mejor opción para cada cliente. El estudio visual fue muy completo y la variedad de monturas es increíble, con opciones para todos los gustos y precios muy buenos. Sin duda, un lugar de confianza al que volveré y que recomiendo totalmente.
Joaquin Moya TárragaHace 2 meses · LUPER San Pedro del Pinatar
Quiero dejar esta reseña para destacar el trato de Ópticas Luper, pero sobre todo para agradecer de corazón a María. Hacía tiempo que no me encontraba con una atención al cliente tan brillante, atenta y cercana.
Fui a comprar unas gafas de sol y María marcó por completo la diferencia. Tiene un ojo clínico y un gusto impecable para asesorar: supo al instante qué montura y cristales encajaban mejor con mis facciones y estilo. Su paciencia, su simpatía natural y la pasión con la que hace su trabajo convierten la compra en un auténtico placer. Se nota cuando a alguien le apasiona lo que hace y cuida cada detalle con tanto cariño.
Salí encantadísimo con mis gafas nuevas y con la certeza de que no piso otra óptica que no sea esta. ¡Empleadas como María valen oro!
Recomendable al 200%.
virginia romero abenzaHace 6 meses · LUPER Marcos Redondo
Hoy he estado y me ha atendido Jaime. Muy profesional, sincero y honesto. Me he hecho dos gafas, unas progresivas y otras de lejos con clip para sol. Mis dos amigas son clientas y también han estado hace dos días. Me voy muy satisfecha y deseando recoger mis nuevas gafas

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Una atención excepcional, de las que ya no se encuentran fácilmente
Quiero destacar especialmente la experiencia que he tenido en Audiologia Lúper, en Murcia. Desde el primer momento, el trato ha sido absolutamente excepcional: cercano, amable, paciente y, sobre todo, muy profesional.
Te hacen sentir cómodo y bien atendido desde que entras por la puerta, algo que para mí tiene muchísimo valor. Se nota que no se limitan simplemente a hacer su trabajo, sino que realmente se preocupan por la persona que tienen delante y por ofrecerle la mejor atención posible.
Me voy con una sensación de total satisfacción y confianza. Da gusto encontrar profesionales que trabajan con tanta dedicación y que además ofrecen un trato tan humano.
Mi valoración no puede ser otra que cinco estrellas, y sinceramente se quedan cortas. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Enhorabuena a todo el equipo de Audiometría Lúper por la profesionalidad, la cercanía y el trato recibido. 100 % recomendable.
AndreaHace 3 meses · LUPER San Pedro del Pinatar
Llevo varios años acudiendo para hacerme nuevas gafas y estoy encantada. Siempre que puedo cojo cita para la revisión de la vista con Pilar porque es una gran profesional, muy agradable, siempre aconsejando que gafas te quedan mejor y enseñando todos los modelos de la tienda. Sin duda, la recomiendo 100%!
JUAN PEDRO ALCOLEA ABENZAHace 3 meses · LUPER Marcos Redondo
El trato ha sido espectacular,muy amable y comprometida.
En relación al precio,me he quedado sorprendido,por qué las ultimas gafas que compré me costaron una buena pasta y aquí me llevo dos pares de gafas por poco dinero.
Muy buena impresión .
La recomiendo.
Jonatan Lopez NavarroHace 1 mes · LUPER Canalejas
Acabo de salir de está magnifica óptica y he decir que habéis ganado un cliente, tanto por la variedad que hay de gafas, como por el examen de graduación que ha sido espectacular y José Ángel me lo ha explicado todo super bien y de forma muy profesional. Un crack . Un 100 de 10 por todo lo alto. ..
100% recomendable
