Question

Which of the following statement is correct? (a) A person with myopia can see distant objects clearly (b) A person with hypermetropia can see nearby objects clearly (c) A person with myopia can see nearby objects clearly (d) A person with hypermetropia cannot see distant objects clearly

• A. A person with myopia can see distant objects clearly
• B. A person with hypermetropia can see nearby objects clearly
• C. A person with myopia can see nearby objects clearly
• D. A person with hypermetropia cannot see distant objects clearly.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

A person with myopia can see nearby objects clearly

Myopia:

1. Myopia is the inability of an eye to see objects that are far away.
2. In this case, the image is formed before the retina.
3. A far point beyond which a clear image cannot be seen exists for every myopic eye.
4. A concave lens diverges and shifts the image to the retina to correct short-sightedness.

Hypermetropia:

1. Hypermetropia is a condition in which a person can clearly see distant objects but not nearby objects.
2. It is also referred to as nearsightedness or farsightedness.
3. This flaw can be corrected by using an appropriate power convex lens.

Hence, Option (C) is correct.
