What is longsightedness?

Farsightedness : Farsightedness or hyperopia is the term i believe you are asking. If the hyperopia is significant glasses or contact lenses are required to see clear images. Milder forms may be tolerable without glasses for awhile, but visual fatigue often necessitate glasses sooner or later.

Farsightedness: Is when you see better far away than you do close up. Corrected easily with glasses or contacts.
