One cause is that your cornea is flat. Also if your eyeball is shorter than a normal eyeball.

Farsightedness happens when light entering the eye is focused behind the retina instead of directly on it. This is caused by an eye that is too short, whose cornea is not curved enough, or the lens sits farther back than normal.
