long-sighted
Sees far clearly
Long-sighted describes vision that sees distant objects clearly while nearby ones appear blurred—the opposite of short-sighted.
British English uses long-sighted where American English prefers farsighted.
Figuratively, someone long-sighted plans ahead and anticipates future consequences: a long-sighted investment strategy.
