Definitions from the Web

Term: Farsightedness Description: Farsightedness, also known as hyperopia, refers to a common refractive error in vision where distant objects are more easily seen than nearby objects. It occurs due to the shape of the eye where the cornea has insufficient curvature or the eyeball is shorter than normal, causing light entering the eye to focus behind the retina instead of on it. Farsightedness can affect individuals of all ages, and it is usually corrected with prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgeries. Sample sentences: - Despite having farsightedness, Sarah could clearly read a road sign that was miles away. - John struggled with farsightedness and had to wear corrective lenses to see objects up close. - The optometrist prescribed bifocal glasses for Mr. Smith, as his farsightedness affected both near and distant vision. - As an artist, Emily frequently faced challenges due to her farsightedness while working on intricate details of her paintings.
