Long-sight in Malayalam
Long-sight comes out in Malayalam as ദൂരവീക്ഷണം (dooraveekshanam). The first half means distance and the second is viewing, so the compound reads as distance-vision. Beyond the eye condition, speakers also use it approvingly of a leader with long-range foresight.

Common questions
How do you say long-sight in Malayalam?
Say ദൂരവീക്ഷണം (dooraveekshanam), built from the words for distance and viewing.
Does it also mean foresight?
Yes. The same word praises someone who thinks far ahead, so an eye clinic and a political column can both use it.
