Farsightedness Combination

Farsightedness, so-called hypermetropia, is a visual impairment in which points located further from the eyes are focused not on the retina, but in front of it. People with farsightedness have poor close vision but generally good distance vision.

About 7% of people are farsighted. Of these, only 3% have farsightedness severe enough to experience problems with near vision. In other cases, the person feels only a slight veil or vagueness. Myopia has the opposite effect - impaired distance vision, in which objects in the distance are clearly visible, but a small object is right next to the nose, which will cause severe tension and discomfort even for a person with mild myopia. More than 25% of the total population has this disorder to varying degrees.
