farsightedness
Near vision blurred
Farsightedness is a condition of the eyes in which distant objects can be seen more clearly than nearby ones, the opposite of nearsightedness.
The term also describes the quality of being able to anticipate future needs or consequences and plan accordingly.
Her farsightedness in investing early paid off decades later.
Someone with farsightedness in this figurative sense shows wisdom and prudent judgment about what lies ahead.
