Farsightedness or hyperopia. This refractive error needs a plus power or magnifing lens to cause the light to focus sooner and thus, on the retina for clear vision.

The image of a distant object is brought into focus in front of a person's retina, the defect is called nearsightedness. A virtual image produced by a lens is always located in front of the lens.

The defect is called myopia, also known as nearsightedness. In myopia, the image is focused in front of the retina instead of on it, causing distant objects to appear blurry. This can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
It focuses it in front of the retina
A farsighted person (hyperopic) has difficulty seeing nearby objects because the image is formed behind the retina. A convex lens is used to converge light rays so that the image falls on the retina, allowing clear vision. So, for a farsighted person, the convex lens corrects vision by focusing the image on the retina.
A human eye is far-sighted when the image falls behind the retina, usually due to the eyeball being too short or the cornea being too flat. This results in difficulty seeing nearby objects clearly without corrective lenses.
In a far-sighted person, the light from a nearby object focuses behind the retina instead of directly on it, resulting in blurry vision. This condition, known as hyperopia, can be corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses that help bring the image into focus on the retina.
A lens magnifies an image by bending light rays that pass through it, causing the image to appear larger. This bending of light focuses the image onto the retina at the back of the eye, resulting in an enlarged perception of the object being viewed.
The eye lens is converging, meaning that it focuses light rays onto a single point on the retina to create a clear image.
Corrective lenses, whether they are contacts or regular glasses, work on the principle that light travels at a different speed through the glass compared to air. When the light hits the lens, the light rays are bent to correct for the amount the lens in your eye needs correcting. Only your optometrist can determine this.
The retina is where the image is formed.
