Question

Which one of the following diseases is due to the low converging power of the lens?

• A. Myopia
• B. Cataract
• C. Hypermetropia
• D. Astigmatism

Answer 1

The correct option is C Hypermetropia

Hypermetropia is a condition caused when the converging power of the human lens is low. This is also known as far-sightedness or hyperopia.This happens because of weak action of ciliary muscles. In this eye defect, light is focused behind, instead of on, the retina and the person suffering from this cannot see nearby objects clearly.
