A member asked:

I am doing a project and need to know how farsightedness affects your vision?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Age related: Farsightedness (FS) (hyperopia) is when the optics of the eye (lens + cornea) cannot bring the light to a focus inside the eye. Plus lenses are put in the glasses to bring the focus forward onto the retina. Almost all infants are FS but their lens can do this. At age 40 and above reading glasses are needed. Uncorrected, the image is blurry if the natural lens is too weak to compensate.
