A member asked:
Can a car accident result in severe farsightedness aka hyperopia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Trauma to an eye, severe enough to change its lens power would probably damage the eye to a poorly corrrectable level. Minor trauma such as the indirect jostling an eye receives in an auto accident will not change the eye power.
