Farsightedness, or hyperopia, is a common condition where a person may or may not see distant objects clearly depending on the degree of far-sightedness, while close objects are blurry or difficult to focus. Hyperopia is not detected as often as myopia, or nearsightedness, as vision tests are commonly performed using distance charts. As a person with hyperopia may see distance clearly, they pass traditional eye tests without trouble. However, blurred near vision or headaches can be indicative of hyperopia and may warrant an examination.
