Farsightedness Explicit

Farsightedness or hypermetropia of the eye is a deviation from the norm in which the focus on the retina does not converge, but becomes defocused. A large number of light rays are focused behind the eye lens, which leads to the fact that objects can only be seen well at a short distance. The longitudinal axis of the eye is closer to the bridge of the nose than is required for proper focusing. Farsighted people see better those things that are out of focus and blurred by those around them. They see well into the distance, but cannot read small letters, or do not know how to find what they need. This pathology can be congenital and occur in a child under one year old, or acquired as a result of pathologies of the optic nerve or brain.
