Hyperopia, like nearsightedness is a far vision problem. With farsightedness, the eye is too weak in power when looking at a distant object and cannot focus on the retina as it should.
If the eye belongs to an individual with enough near focusing ability, the proper amount of focus by the eye's internal lens can clear the image on the retina. This does take effort and reduces the individual's ability to focus on near objects. Because of this, hyperopia is often mistakenly thought to be a near vision problem. Focusing to compensate for hyperopia is not easy for those over the age of forty who have lost their near focusing ability because of presbyopia.
Spectacle or contact lenses would be needed to clear the vision. Laser vision correction is also an option to reshape and strengthen the eye's power for better clarity.
