What is Hyperopia (Farsightedness)?

The normal eye is a perfect sphere. The cornea and lens focus light to form an image on the back inside surface of the eye, known as the retina. With farsightedness, the cornea's curvature is flat for the shape of the eye. The light is focused in back of the retina, causing a blurred image.
