“Can glasses help with farsightedness?”

Farsightedness, also called hyperopia is a refractive condition where light or things that you look at focus behind the retina. Depending upon your age and how much farsightedness you have, your eye may be able to accommodate or refocus what you are looking at onto your retina so that things will be clear and in focus. This condition will change with age and a refraction which checks your eye glass prescription will determine what you have, how much you have, and if there is any associated astigmatism present, which is very common. So, YES, glasses can help with farsightedness and allow your eyes to relax and not strain to see clearly. Since you already know that you have farsightedness, I would consult with your eye doctor in order to determine what your best options are including glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. Good luck and best wishes.

Yes, farsightedness has been treated with hyperopic glasses for many, many years, just as nearsightedness has been treated with myopic glasses. Glasses and contact lenses are the two ways that far sighted and near sighted vision problems are corrected so these people can have better vision.

Yes. Farsightedness, unlike nearsightedness is actually a bad term. When someone is nearsighted, they actually can see ar near and not well at distance. However, farsighted persona sees poorly at both distance is and near, but near is worse than distance. Steven Vale, M. D.
