AN OPEN LETTER TO
HYPERMETROPES
THE FAR SIGHTED.
Your trouble, friend, known as hypermctropia, is also
called far sight or oversight; not because you can sec farther
or better than one with a normal eye, but because the focal
point of your oye is adjusted to a point, abnormally distant.
Therefore it cannot be adjusted to the near point without
overstrain unless aided by lenses. The normal eve on the
contrary can be, until the age for old sight is reached.
Normal eyes are adjusted naturally to any distance;
yours to none except beyond the far point and then only
through an abnormal strain; hence the designation lar
. sighted.
