Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Farsightedness is also called hyperopia, which means the eye is too short or the cornea is too flat, causing light rays to focus behind the retina instead of on it, resulting in difficulty seeing objects up close. It is different from myopia (nearsightedness) where distant objects are difficult to see. Hypopia is not a recognized medical term, and presbyopia is a condition where the lens of the eye loses flexibility with age, making it harder to focus on near objects.
