What is the typical correction method for a person who is long sighted?

The typical correction method for a person who is long sighted, also known as hyperopia, involves the use of reading glasses with convex lenses. Long sightedness occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, causing distant objects to be seen clearly while close objects appear blurry. Convex lenses are thicker in the center than at the edges and help to converge light rays before they enter the eye, allowing the focal point to fall directly on the retina for nearby objects, improving clarity for tasks such as reading.

Other methods, such as concave lenses, are used for myopia (nearsightedness) and would not provide the necessary correction for someone who is long sighted. Plano lenses do not have any optical power and would not aid in correcting vision at all. Narrow-focused optics refers to specialized lenses but does not specify a correction method suitable for long-sightedness. Therefore, reading glasses with convex lenses is the most effective and common solution for this vision problem.
