People who are farsighted see objects that are at a distance better than those that are up close. If you are farsighted, close objects may be so blurry that you can't do tasks such as reading or sewing. A farsighted eye sees things differently than an eye that is not farsighted.Farsightedness (hyperopia) is usually a variation from normal, not a disease. Less often, it happens because of another disease or condition. Farsightedness occurs when light entering the eye is focused behind the retina instead of directly on itThis is caused by an eye that is too short, whose cornea is not curved enough, or whose lens sits farther back in the eye than normal.Farsightedness often runs in families. In rare cases, some diseases such as retinopathy and eye tumors can cause it.To see more details visit www.webmd.com
