Farsightedness (hyperopia)

Farsightedness (hyperopia) is a common vision condition in which you can see objects in the distance clearly, but objects nearby are blurry. If you're farsighted, your eye is probably too short from front to back, causing light rays to be focused behind rather than on the back of your eye (retina).

Complications 

If left untreated farsightedness can cause complications, such as:

• Reduced quality of life. Farsightedness can affect your quality of life. You might not be able to perform a task as well as you wish, and your limited vision may detract from your enjoyment of day-to-day activities.

• Eyestrain. Squinting your eyes to see nearby objects can cause eyestrain and headaches.

• Impaired safety. For your own safety and that of others, don't drive or operate heavy equipment if you have an uncorrected vision problem.

• Headache
