Question

What is hypermetropia (far-sighted-ness)?

Answer 1

Hypermetropia is the inability of an eye in viewing the nearby objects. The image in this case is formed beyond the retina. For a hypermetropic eye, there exists a near point.

It is corrected by using a convex lens, which converges and shifts the image to the retina.
