Solution
The correct option is B Hypermetropia The correct option is C.
Hypermetropia, sometimes called hyperopia, is the term used to define being longsighted. If you are hypermetropic, the image of a nearby object is formed behind the retina. This means that light is focused too far back in the eye, causing things which are close up to appear blurred.
In the absence of other diseases, the condition of hypermetropia may be corrected with restoration of normal visual function. This may be achieved with spectacles or contact lenses. Basic principle of therapy is to converge and focus the light rays on the retina with the help of convex (plus) glasses.
