Farsightedness, or presbyopia, typically occurs with age due to a gradual loss of elasticity in the eye's lens, making it harder to focus on nearby objects. This natural aging process affects the eye's ability to change shape for clear vision at close distances. Additionally, changes in the muscle fibers surrounding the lens can contribute to this condition. As a result, individuals may find it increasingly difficult to read or perform tasks that require close vision as they age.

How is farsightedness treated?
The usual treatment for farsightedness is corrective lenses (spectacles or contact lenses).
Where in the retina is the light focused in farsightedness?
In farsightedness (hyperopia), light is focused behind the retina due to the eyeball being too short or the cornea having too little curvature. This causes blurry vision when looking at close objects.
What is the difference between nearsightnedness and farsightedness?
Nearsightedness is when you can only see far and farsightedness is when you can only see close.
What are the scientific names for nearsighted and farsighted?
Nearsightedness is called Myopia and farsightedness is called Hyeropia.
What is the lens used for farsightedness?
Convex lenses are typically used to correct farsightedness. These lenses help focus light onto the retina by bending it inward before it enters the eye, which improves vision for individuals with farsightedness.
What is another name for 'farsightedness'?
Hyperopia.
Where was when was and by whom was near and farsightedness discovered?
.... No?
What causes farsightness in older people?
The cause of farsightedness in older people is that theirs lenses become relatively brittle. Therefore it becomes difficult for them to focus, especially on nearby objects.
