Why do farsighted people complain about glasses?

Do you ever go on all these alternatives to myopia websites that say
myopia makes your eyes get worse? They say that glasses make your eyes
worse. They also claim that their eye exercises can cure ALL eye
diseases.

But what really makes me angry is when they have testimonials of people
who are FARSIGHTED! What does that have to do with myopia reversal?
Furthermore I have discovered that this so-called myopia, and
astigmatism prevention/reversal are only possible for the slightly
myopic.

But seriously, why are these farsighted people so amazed that they
"improved" their vision, when actually all they did was move their eyes
in a more negative direction?

Is their "improvement" supposed to impress us who are myopic?

Seriously, what do farsighted people have to complain about?
Farsighted people never have to worry about not being able to see the
board, not being able to do their job, not getting more bulging eyes
from negative lenses (when you take them off), not having to lose their
glasses and be totally inefficient the whole day, not having staircase
myopia.

Farsighted people are God's gift, they are the lucky ones. I don't see
why farsighted people are even concerned with vision exercises or
vision "improvement" at all.

Does anyone know why they are?

Because, jerk, farsighted people can't see ANYTHING clearly without glasses.
Add astigmatism and it gets worse. You might want to check a dictionary
before you mouth off next time.

I'm sure they can see the board from the back of the room, right?

Certainly. Without a doubt I would be able to see that there is a board in
the front of the room if I were sitting in the back of the room. The problem
arises only when I want to read what's written on it.

but you're "far-sighted", therefore you should be able to see things
that are "far away". If the blackboard is 20 feet away, why should not
you be able to see it?

Basically its inconvenient to need glasses for reading.

Wrong. Most of them only need glasses when reading.

Or you might. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=farsighted

Those people have normal vision.

Hyperopes do not have normal vision. As hyperopes get older, they can
accommodate less and less and it becomes harder and harder to focus close up.
Eventually NOTHING can be focused. I didn't need to wear glasses for reading
until I was 38. Now I need them for everything. If you don't, be grateful.

Whatever. I suspect that the definition in a medical dictionary might be
quite different...

What do YOU consider the proper word for people whose eyeballs are too short
to allow the lens+cornea to ever focus the image on the retina?

I am a farsighted person that makes my eyeglass providers undercorrect
my prescription slightly, and I still deteriorate to an extent that gets
notably worse every few years. I need "reading glasses" now most of the
time to see well anything closer than my 17 inch computer monitor!

Although I surely say this in the direction of saying that eye exercise
programs are about 80% BS!!! Exercise your eyes as best as possible, and
this means you need at age 50 what you otherwise would have needed at age
45, or need at age 45 what you would otherwise would have needed at age 41
or 40!

Wrong. Those that dont need glasses at all have normal vision.

> Hyperopes do not have normal vision.

Correct. BUT THEY CAN SEE THINGS AT A DISTANCE FINE.

THATS WHY THEY ARE CALLED FAR SIGHTED, BECAUSE
THEY CAN SEE THINGS AT A DISTANCE FINE.

Separate issue entirely to your original claim that they cant see anything
clearly without glasses. They can see things at a distance fine.

> Eventually NOTHING can be focused.

Wrong. Whatever is in focus with the lense relaxed
can be seen fine, and that is what is at a distance.

> I didn't need to wear glasses for reading until I was 38.

Irrelevant to your original claim that they cant see anything
clearly without glasses. They can see things at a distance fine.

> Now I need them for everything.

Then you dont have simple hyperopia.

> If you don't, be grateful.

Irrelevant.

Which says

Depending upon the amount of hyperopia, symptoms can range
from none to clear distance vision but blurry near vision

Nothing like your original.

I didnt even comment on that term. I JUST commented on your claim
that 'farsighted people can't see ANYTHING clearly without glasses'

That is just plain wrong, as both the normal and medical dictionarys say.
