Question

if a person has distance power as +2.00 in the prescription what does it mean? is he myopic or hyperopic?

What exactly does + or - in prescribtion tell?

Answer 1

the + mean in prescription (hyperopia)

but take care that can see distance very will but near things not

Answer 2

That would be hyperopic, if that is just a + 2.00 sphere for distance.

A + 2.00 for reading only would mean presbyopia.

A - 2.00 for distance would be myopia

The + 2.00 , a convex lens ,shortens the focal length of light entering the eye so that it focuses on the retina instead of behind it..( in theory )

A -2.00, a concave lens, increases the focal length of light entering the eye, to make it focus on the retina instead of in front of it.
