If you are farsighted, you may have difficulty seeing objects up close. To improve this, you may start with over the counter reading glasses. If this is not sufficient, please schedule an evaluation with an ophthalmologist for a complete eye examination and refraction. Rona Z.

Farsightedness is hyperopia and it is corrected with PLUS spherical lenses with or without ASTIGMATIC correction if needed. For a quick fix try on different strengths plus off the rack for distance vision.
