hyperopia
n.
far-sightedness, ability to see distant objects more clearly than near ones
Hyperopia
Hyperopia, also known as hypermetropia or colloquially as farsightedness or longsightedness, is a
defect of
vision caused by an imperfection in the
eye (often when the eyeball is too short or when the
lens cannot become round enough), causing inability to
focus on near objects, and in extreme cases causing a sufferer to be unable to focus on objects at any
distance. As an object moves towards the eye, the eye must increase its power to keep the image on the retina. If the power of the cornea and lens is insufficient, as in hyperopia, the image will appear blurred.
