Also known as hypermetropia, far-sightedness

Far-sightedness, also known as long-sightedness, hypermetropia, and hyperopia, is a condition of the eye where distant objects are seen clearly but near objects appear blurred. This blur is due to incoming light being focused behind, instead of on, the retina due to insufficient accommodation by the lens. Minor hypermetropia in young patients is usually corrected by their accommodation, without any defects in vision. But, due to this accommodative effort for distant vision, people may complain of eye strain during prolonged reading. If the hypermetropia is high, there will be defective vision

AI overview

Hyperopia, commonly called far-sightedness, is a condition where your eyes focus light behind the retina instead of directly on it, making nearby objects appear blurred while distant ones stay clear. It matters because while mild cases may go unnoticed due to your eye's natural focusing ability, severe hyperopia causes blurred vision and eye strain during close-up activities like reading.
