Hyperopia

"The medical term for farsightedness is hyperopia. It's the opposite of nearsightedness. Hyperopia is usually caused by an eyeball that's too short, causing light to focus behind the retina."

"Hyperopia is simply another name for farsightedness. People with hyperopia see objects far away more clearly than they see objects up close."
