Hyperopia is
  1. Nearsightedness, where the patient sees better up close than far
  2. The beginning stages of glaucoma
  3. The loss of the elasticity of the crystalline lens that occurs from aging
  4. Farsightedness, seeing fine in the distance, but can’t focus up close
Explanation
Answer: D - Hyperopia is being farsighted and seeing fine in the distance, but can’t focus up close.

This occurs when light rays enter the eye and focus behind the retina instead of on the retina. This means the patient will have problems trying to see well at close range.
