Hyperopia (farsightedness) is a common eye condition that may cause you to have blurry close-up vision. People with hyperopia:
Typically have an easier time seeing objects that are far away (at least 6 meters, or almost 20 feet).
Have difficulty focusing their eyes on things that are close up.
People with a high degree of hyperopia may have blurry vision at all distances
The shape of your eye determines whether you have some degree of hyperopia. Factors include the length of your eye from front to back (axial length) and the curvature of your cornea (the front “window” of your eye). Your eye shape affects how your eye receives and processes light to allow you to see.
