| pubmed-article:9269001 | pubmed:abstractText | This article presents three cases of decreased vision due to acquired hyperopia, which were caused by a chalazion of the upper eyelid. Through manifest refraction and computerized corneal topographic analysis, acquired hyperopia associated with central corneal flattening was revealed. These findings were responsible for the blurred vision that was reversed by chalazion resolution or removal. Although not usually considered a risk factor for refractive disorders other than astigmatism, chalazia of the upper eyelid can present as a decrease in vision associated with reversible central corneal flattening and acquired hyperopia. | lld:pubmed |
