What is the definition of farsighted and nearsighted?
Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, longsightedness or hypermetropia, is a defect of vision caused by an imperfection in the eye (often when the eyeball is too short or when the lens cannot become round enough), causing inability to focus on near objects, and in extreme cases causing a sufferer to be unable to focus on objects at any distance. As an object moves toward the eye, the eye must increase its power to keep the image in focus on the retina. If the power of the cornea and lens is insufficient, as in hyperopia, the image will appear blurred. Myopia also called near- or short-sightedness, is a refractive defect of the eye in which collimated light produces image focus in front of the retina when accommodation is relaxed. Those with myopia see nearby objects clearly but distant objects appear blurred. With myopia, the eyeball is too long, or the cornea is too steep, so images are focused in the vitreous inside the eye rather than on the retina at the back of the eye. The opposite defect of myopia is hyperopia or "farsightedness" or "long-sightedness" - this is where the cornea is too flat or the eye is too short. But someone can be both far-sighted and near-sighted.

How would you describe a nearsighted person's eye?
A nearsighted person's eye is typically longer than average or has a cornea that is too steep. This causes light entering the eye to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it, resulting in blurry distance vision. Nearsightedness can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

What to do for a astimatism?
I am assuming you mean astigmatism. This is a very common eye condition caused by an irregularly shaped cornea (called corneal astigmatism). But sometimes lenticular astigmatism results from an irregularly shaped lens, which is located behind the cornea.Either kind of astigmatism can usually be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.It is separate from having either myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (Farsightedness), meaning a person who has astigmatism may be nearsighted, farsighted or neither.The best thing is to go to an eye doctor and get examined. Once you have your diagnosis you can discuss your options with the doctor.
