For a person having hypermetropia, the near point is
-
- greater than 25 cm
- greater than 50 cm
- less than 25 cm
- infinity
- greater than 25 cm
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.
