Longsighted

Today we are looking at long sighted people this condition is called hyperopia people with this condition can see clearly things far away but things up close are blurry.

What causes this condition well since it is the opposite of being short sighted the causes are the opposite of those that, such as the eyeball being too short and the lens too thin, with the shorter the eyeball and the thinner the lens the more long sighted a person will be.

In a long-sighted person light rays are not focused on the retina, the actual point of focus is further away from the retina, so a blurred image forms on the retina.

Because of this, the eye has to work harder to focus on near objects.

Those with long‑sightedness often notice:

Blurry vision when reading or doing close work

Eye strain or headaches after focusing for a while

Squinting to see clearly

Fatigue, especially later in the day

Some children can “auto‑focus” using their eye muscles, so the problem isn’t obvious until they get tired.

This condition is treated in a few ways such as glasses with convex lenses, contact lenses and surgery.

As people age, the lens becomes less flexible, making it harder to compensate for hyperopia. That’s why many people find reading harder in their 40s and beyond.
