Farsightedness. The image theoretically falls behind the retina of the eye, either because the eyeball axis is too short or because the refraction of light rays entering the eye is too weak, myopia.<\/p>\n

\n

Hyperopia, better known as farsightedness, is defined as a condition in which refracting optics of the eye are too weak given the length of the eye such that images of distant objects are focused behind the retina. This occurs in a normal sized eye when the cornea and lens power are insufficient, or in an eye that is too short when the cornea and lens power are adequate. In’ other words, hyperopia is caused by an imbalance between the refractive action and the size and shape of the eye.<\/p>\n

\n

Farsightedness; a condition in which light rays are brought to a focus behind the retina (compare myopia).<\/p>\n

\n

Farsightedness; inability to see objects in near visual fields clearly.<\/p>\n

\n

The condition in which parallel light rays are brought to a focus behind the retina when the ‘accommodation is relaxed. Objects closer than six meters from the eye appear blurred, and objects farther than six meters from the eye are not seen clearly but in many cases can be made sharp by an effort of accommodation. Normal vision can be restored by wearing spectacles with convex lenses.<\/p>\n

\n

A defect in vision in which parallel rays come to a focus behind the retina as a result of flattening of the globe of the eye or of an error in refraction. Symptoms include ocular fatigue and poor vision.<\/p>\n

\n

The visual challenge of perceiving nearby objects with the same level of clarity as distant objects, coupled with the imperative to adjust focus in order to achieve optimal visual acuity.<\/p>\n
