hyperopia
Near vision blurred
Hyperopia is the medical term for farsightedness—a condition where distant objects appear clearer than nearby ones.
The eye focuses images behind the retina rather than on it, making close work like reading difficult without corrective lenses.
Her hyperopia worsened with age, requiring stronger reading glasses.
