View from a farsighted eye

View from a farsighted eye

Normal vision, with focal point at retina with all objects in focus, compared to farsightedness, with focal point behind retina and far objects in focus.

People who are farsighted see things at a distance more easily than they see things up close. If you are very farsighted, close objects may be so blurry that you can't do tasks such as reading or sewing.

How farsightedness affects you will likely change as you age.
