  1. For a person having hypermetropia, the near point is

    1. greater than 25 cm
    2. greater than 50 cm
    3. less than 25 cm
    4. infinity
Correct Option: A

For a hyper-metropic eye ,the near points shift away from the eye i.e. farther away from the normal near point (25cm). In a hypermetropic eye, the light is not bent sufficiently so that it focuses at a point behind the retina. Here a person sees well for distance but near vision is difficult and causes strain. Hence hypermetropic people are called long-sighted. To correct the hypermetropic eye, a plus lens is required so that the light can now focus on the retina.
