Hyperopia, commonly known as farsightedness, is a vision condition where distant objects can be seen clearly, while close objects may appear blurry. This occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, causing light rays to focus behind the retina. People with hyperopia often struggle with reading or doing close-up tasks, leading to eye strain and discomfort. To correct hyperopia, many individuals use prescription glasses or contact lenses that help focus light correctly onto the retina. In some cases, surgical options like LASIK may be considered. Regular eye exams with an optometrist can help detect hyperopia early and ensure proper vision care.
