Whats the difference between farsighted and nearsightedness?
Both are refractive conditions, meaning that they are problems related to how the light is focused as it enters the eye. Ideally, as light enters the eye, without any additional effort, the light would be perfectly focused onto the inside lining of the eye which detects the light, called the retina. The brain would than see a clear view of the world. This person would not need glasses for the distance.
