Hyperopia (Farsightedness)

Farsightedness is indicated by plus sign, +, at the beginning of a glasses or contact lens prescription.

When the eyeball is too short or the focusing power of the lens is too weak, light is focused behind the retina. This error, called hyperopia or farsightedness, causes near vision to be blurry.

Hyperopia can be corrected by contacts and/or glasses as well as LASIK, or PRK surgery.
