When focusing takes extra effort
Long-sightedness
Reading a book, looking at your phone or working at a screen: with long-sightedness, near work may take more effort. Your eyes may feel tired or your vision may become less clear. Plus-power contact lenses can correct your vision.
Long-sightedness does not mean you always see clearly in the distance. Your eye can compensate to some extent by focusing harder; how well this works varies from person to person.
