HYPEROPIA

Commonly referred to as farsightedness, hyperopia is a condition that causes your distance vision to be clear while your near vision is blurry. If you have high enough hyperopia however, your vision will be blurry at all distances. This happens because your eyeball is slightly shorter than average which causes a blurry image to focus on your retina. Hyperopia can easily be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgical procedures. On your eye glasses prescription, you know you have hyperopia if there is a plus sign in front of the number and the higher the number the more farsighted you are.
