Effects of induced hyperopia.
Hyperopia of 1.00, 1.50, and 2.00 D was induced in 42 subjects by means of concave lenses. A significant decrease in performance on a standard intelligence test occurred with the highest-power lenses. Symptoms induced indicate that the results are applicable to hyperopia. Prescriptions and vision screening criteria for hyperopia are indicated.
