Long Sight
What is it? Also known as Farsightedness or clinically as Hyperopia, longsighted eyes have to constantly use some focus to see things clearly in the distance. All this extra work causes the eye to be under constant strain but particularly when doing things such as reading or using a computer.
Where does it come from?
Generally most people are born longsighted & they lose this as they become teenagers as the eyes grows. For some though they never completely lose their longsightedness and it goes onto create problems later in life or during childhood.
How do I fix it? Longsightedness is easy to correct with either glasses or contact lenses. Depending on the size of the problem this may mean you need correction only occasionally or up to full time.
What will happen to my eyes in the future? This is hard to predict, but generally most peoples eyes will continue to deteriorate for a number of years until they stabilise and stop changing. Whether you choose to wear glasses or not has no bearing on how much your eyes will change as this is largely determined by how longsighted you are and your age.
