A member asked:
Why do people who are farsighted need to always wear glasses at work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficulty at near: Farsighted people (hyperopes) have trouble focusing at near targets, including computer screens, smart phones, books, and writing tasks. This is what most people do at work. If their work was birdwatching or playing outfield, they probably wouldn't need the glasses much.
