Defects of Eye — HypermetropiaMediumQuestion 20235

Question

A hypermetropic (long-sighted) person uses which lens?

A
Concave
B
Convex (converging)
Correct
C
Plano-concave
D
No lens needed

Correct answer

Convex (converging)

Explanation

Hypermetropia: near objects focus behind the retina (eyeball too short). A convex lens converges rays before they enter the eye so the eye can focus on the retina. Power = 1/near_point − 1/D.
