Hyperopia, or farsightedness, was a medical condition affecting the sufferer's eyes, causing a decreased ability to focus on objects at close range, and a comparatively better ability to focus on objects at long range. It was the reverse of myopia. The condition could be improved with glasses or artificial lenses. It was one of a number of handicaps that randomly afflicted Grey Orions, due to their genetic mutilation. (FASA RPG - The Orions module: Book of Deep Knowledge)

abstract	Hyperopia, or farsightedness, was a medical condition affecting the sufferer's eyes, causing a decreased ability to focus on objects at close range, and a comparatively better ability to focus on objects at long range. It was the reverse of myopia. The condition could be improved with glasses or artificial lenses. It was one of a number of handicaps that randomly afflicted Grey Orions, due to their genetic mutilation. (FASA RPG - The Orions module: Book of Deep Knowledge) Hyperopia also called long-sightedness is when one cannot see at short distances. A similar condition affects old people when the lense of the eye becomes less flexible and cannot accommodate to focus on objects that are near. Farsightedness can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses to change the way light rays bend into the eyes. If your glasses or contact lens prescription begins with plus numbers, like +2.50, you are farsighted. You may need to wear your glasses or contacts all the time or only when reading, working on a computer or doing other close-up work. Eyeglasses are the simplest and safest way to correct hyperopia. Your eye care professional can prescribe lenses that will help correct the problem and help you see your best.
