Farsighted means you can see things from afar really well but things that are near you have a harder time seeing.
Farsighted people sometimes have headaches or eye strain and may squint or feel fatigued when performing work at close range.

∙ 14y agoWhen you are 'Myopic' the image of the world does not focus through the lens directly on the surface of the retina.
Myopia sufferers have the image focused just in front of the retina and it starts to blur as the image fans out again after focusing.
If you compress your eyes slightly by pulling your eyelids twards your ears the image will sharpen.
Spectacles for short sighted correction are concave lenses which delay the focusing by fractions of millimeters to enable images to hit the retina at focus point

∙ 16y agoShortsightedness or myopia occurs when the focusing power of the eye is too strong for the axial length of the eyeball.
To correct this problem minus power lenses either in glasses or contact lenses are used to artificially reduce the power of the system and to place a sharply focused image on the retina.
