Longsightedness

Definition:

Longsightedness, also known as hyperopia, is a refractive error in the eye where distant objects appear clearer than near objects. It occurs due to the eyeball being shorter than normal or when the cornea is not curved enough. Individuals with longsightedness experience difficulty focusing on close-up objects.

Examples:

1. Noun: Longsightedness can cause eyestrain and headaches when reading or working on a computer for extended periods.

2. Verb: She longsighted the distant mountains with awe, appreciating their majestic beauty.

3. Adjective: The longsighted approach taken by the company resulted in long-term success.

4. Adverb: The CEO carefully and longsightedly planned the company's expansion into new markets.
