Question: Is there contacts for being farsighted?
would there be contacts for being farsighted? cause i would rather have contacts. and i know i would need glasses for back up, but would i be able to wear those all the time and even see far away clearly?
oh and how do they test your eyes for farsightedness at the eye doctor?
thanks a lot! any advice appreciated. =)
Answers:
The term " farsighted" is usually misunderstood.
If you are around 40 years old, you are becoming presbyopic, not farsighted.
If that is the case, then no, there are no contacts for that, except for bifocal contacts which don't work very well for most people, especially if they are just needed for reading.
The eye exam will determine farsightedness, or presbyopia or nearsightedness, or astigmatism all as part of a routine exam.
If you are way under 40 , then your eyes are probably just slightly strained from too much close work, either reading or computer. Take more breaks.
It may be a good time to go for an eye exam though to find out exactly what the problem is.

Most farsighted people have problems with distance and near vision, the condition of reading problems is called presbyopia which happens at old age. There is contacts for farsightedness but you need to have an eye exam to determine your prescription and suitability.
Good luck
