long-sightedness
Near vision difficulty
Long-sightedness is the condition of seeing distant objects more clearly than nearby ones—the opposite of short-sightedness.
The lens struggles to focus on close work, so reading glasses become necessary.
Figuratively, long-sightedness can mean the ability to anticipate future consequences: Her long-sightedness saved the company from collapse.
Also called farsightedness or hyperopia.
