Farsightedness, or hyperopia, is a common refractive error where distant objects can be seen more clearly than close ones. It occurs when the eyeball is too short relative to the focusing power of the cornea and lens, causing light to focus behind rather than on the retina. This condition can lead to difficulty in performing tasks such as reading or looking at close objects. Correction options include eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
If you are farsighted, it means you can see things far away better than things close to you. It’s like your eyes are good at looking down the road but not so good at reading a book that’s right in your hands.
