Question: If you're farsighted, does that mean you have better long distance vision than normal?
Answers:
Barb is confusing farsighted with presbyopia.
Hyperopia is better known as farsightedness. People with farsightedness generally see well at a distance, but have difficulty seeing clearly at a close range. Farsighted individuals often complain of eye strain, headaches or fatigue rather than blurry vision, but in higher amounts, vision can be blurred at all distances.
With presbyopia, the eyes can't focus at the normal reading distance but can have great distance vision , but being farsighted, when it is a prescription over + 200 or so, they also have blurry vision for distance and wear glasses most of the time.

If you are farsighted you can see far away clearly, not near. It is not that you have "better" distance vision than normal, just that the correction you need is for the range of 6 to about 18 inches or so from your nose.
If someone is nearsighted they can see near without corrective lenses but anything far away would be blurry.
