Question

The image of an object is formed behind __________ in hypermetropia.

• A. retina
• B. cornea
• C. rods
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A retina

Hypermetropia is a defect in the vision of some people which is caused due to flattening of the eyeball.

The retina is a part of the eyeball on the back side. It behaves like a screen on which the image of the object we are viewing is formed.

In hypermetropia, the eyeball comes closer than where it is supposed to be. Hence the image is formed behind the retina.
