3. Sclerocornea
Sclerocornea is a condition that occurs when your cornea — the part of the eye that focused light onto your retina — blends with your sclera. It is classified as a congenital anomaly meaning that it was present ever since birth. There are some cases were sclerocornea occurs together with cornea plana. Patients who suffer from both eye conditions may have more severe hyperopia than those who only suffer from one. Most cases of sclerocornea are sporadic rather than inherited.
That being said, there are some cases in which it may be passed down genetically through parents or even grandparents. Sporadic cases tend to be more severe than hereditary ones. The condition reduces the clarity of your cornea. As you can imagine, this will make it harder for your cornea to focus incoming light — leading to hyperopia. Corneal transplants can be performed to relieve symptoms.
