The quality of being considerate about what might happen in the future
The condition of being unable to focus on near objects
Also called hyperopia To farsighted people, near objects are blurry, but far objects are in focus
= able to see objects in the distance more clearly than nearby objects
Also known as hypermetropia or hyperopia Refractive error condition in which eye is underpowered, so that light rays coming from a distant object strike the retina before coming to sharp focus
occurs when parallel light rays are brought to a point of focus behind the retina of the eye, resulting mainly in blurred near vision, although distance vision may also be affected Also called hyperopia
Hyperopia occurs when the eyeball is too short from front to back, or the eye's focusing mechanism is too weak, causing light rays to be focused behind, rather than on the retina People with hyperopia have difficulty seeing objects close up
- Having better vision for things far away instead of near
Vision that results when the distance from the cornea to the retina is too short This occurs when the eye that has a vertical oval shape, or it has a cornea that is flatter than normal In either event, a person who is farsighted sees well at a distance but has poor reading vision Those who are farsighted are usually born with the disorder
a condition in which the eyeball is too short or the cornea is too flat, resulting in the inability to see objects up close The medical term for this condition is hyperopia Finished Inside Polymerization System (FIPSâ„¢): a contact lens manufacturing technique involving precision machining the back surface geometry of a lens onto a hardened stainless steel insert
Ability to clearly see things in the distance, often accompanied by a need to involuntarily exert extra effort to see clearly up close
— The inability to see things clearly that are up close Many children will pass vision tests that measure distance but have difficulty with reading or close work (AOA) - A vision condition in which distant objects are usually seen clearly, but close ones do not come into proper focus Ocurs if your eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, so light entering your eye is not focused correctly (JP) - HYPEROPIA - Refractive condition in which point of focus falls behind the retina; farsightedness (NEI) - HYPEROPIA - Farsightedness; ability to see distant objects more clearly than close objects
Also known as Hyperopia, the inability to see objects up close It is the result of an eyeball that is too short or whose outside surface (the cornea) is too flat The exact cause is not known, although farsightedness may be inherited
A condition where the eyeball is too short and flat, so that light rays haven't yet focused when they reach the retina The result is difficulty in seeing near objects clearly
