Does hyperopia change with age?

It may: Hyperopia may change, namely, getting worse. Also, when your vision gets older, your hyperopia will change as well.

Hyperopia v. age: Most infants are somewhat hyperopic and as the eye grows, the amount diminishes and many become myopic. Those over the late 30's have a certain percentage who acquire hyperopia and may need correction for this as well as near needs termed presbyopia.
