Statement 1: Hypermetropia is corrected by use of convex lens
Statement 2: The eye lens has to become thick so that it Hypermetropia (hyperopia) also known as farsightedness is a common type of refractive error where distant objects may be seen more clearly than objects that are near is able to bend light coming from a nearby object even more so as to form image at retina itself which a hypermetropic eye is unable to do so we place an extra convex lens which assists the eye lens in further convergence of light.
Statement 1 and 2 are correct and statement 2 is the correct reason for statement 1
Hypermetropia (hyperopia) also known as farsightedness is a common type of refractive error where distant objects may be seen more clearly than objects that are near. Therefore convex lens is used to treat it.
