Farsightedness, also known as hyperopia, is a common vision condition where distant objects can be seen more clearly than nearby ones. This occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, causing light rays to focus behind the retina instead of directly on it. People with farsightedness may experience blurred vision when looking at close objects, leading to eye strain or discomfort. Symptoms of farsightedness can include difficulty reading, headaches, and fatigue after prolonged close work. It can affect people of all ages, but it is often more noticeable in children and older adults. Corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses, can help refocus light onto the retina, improving vision clarity.
