Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Farsightedness, also known as hyperopia, occurs when light entering the eye focuses behind the retina instead of directly on it. This results in distant objects appearing clear, but near objects appearing blurry. Therefore, a person with farsightedness would require converging lenses (which are thicker in the middle and thinner on the edges) to bring the focal point forward and onto the retina for reading and other close-up work. For driving and other distance-related tasks, glasses may not be necessary for someone with mild farsightedness, but if they do, they are likely to need minimal correction with converging lenses.
