hyperopic
Distant vision clear
Hyperopic means farsighted—able to see distant objects clearly while nearby objects appear blurred.
The condition results from the eyeball being too short or the cornea too flat, causing light to focus behind the retina rather than on it.
Hyperopic patients often need reading glasses before those with normal vision do.
The noun is hyperopia.
