Definition
A hyperope is someone who has farsightedness, also known as hyperopia. This means they can see distant objects clearly but have trouble focusing on things up close. 🤓 Think of it like needing reading glasses all the time. It happens when the eye is shorter than normal or the cornea is too flat. This causes light to focus behind the retina instead of directly on it. People with hyperopia often squint or strain their eyes when trying to read. Corrective lenses can help them see clearly at all distances.
