Yes. That is what far-sighted is.

I was 5 when I had the surgery… but I have other immediate family members that have had it a lot earlier… I probably would have had it at the age of 3 if I would have found the surgeon earlier… (We tried a patch and glasses first… and then decided to operate…)

But I’m not sure we are talking about the same condition because I had surgery on both eyes… so it wasn’t a typical case of a lazy eye… And mine did not 100 percent correct itself after I put on glasses. The surgery corrected it. I still do not have perfect depth perception (I cannot thread a needle and I consistently fail those eye tests with that fly whose wings pop up with the 3D glasses…)

I went (and still go) to a really great pediatric eye specialist in Manhattan. He only sees children and adults who he operated on as children.
