5. Are cats farsighted?

Again, the answer appears to be yes. Farsighted means the inability to see objects close up clearly. Many older adults struggle with this problem as their eye muscles weaken with age, which is why they need reading glasses. Cats also lack the fine muscle movement necessary to adjust the shape of their lenses to see close up objects clearly and need to be further away. This means cats would need reading glasses too if they were human.
