ICD-11 definition : A refractive error in which rays of light entering the eye parallel to the optic axis
are brought to a focus behind the retina, as a result of the eyeball being too short
from front to back. It is also called farsightedness because the near point is more
distant than it is in emmetropia with an equal amplitude of accommodation.;
