Can get away with going to an eye doctor and "faking" farsightedness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is recommended that at your age you have an eye exam at least every 2 years. Most insurances now days will cover an eye exam as preventative measure. You cAnnot fake farsightedness. What you have though is presbyopia.
