Question

A man driving a car can read a distant road sign clearly but finds difficulty in reading the odometer on the dashboard of the car. Which of the following is a correct statement?

• A. The far point of his eyes has come close to him
• B. The far point of his eyes has receded away
• C. The near point of his eyes has come close to him
• D. The near point of his eyes has receded away

Answer 1

The correct option is D

The near point of his eyes has receded away

When a person cannot see the nearby objects but can see the distant objects clearly, then he is suffering from hypermetropia or farsightedness. If a man driving a car reads a distant road sign clearly but finds difficulty in reading the odometer on the dashboard of the car, then he is suffering from hypermetropia or farsightedness.
For a normal eye, the near point is 25 cm but when the eye has hypermetropia, near point of the eye is more than 25 cm or near point of the eyes recedes away.
