Explain the Term: Hypermetropia

टिप्पणी लिखिए

उत्तर

With age, the elasticity of the lens decreases, and the individual becomes long-sighted and is called Hypermetropia In this condition, the diameter of the eyeball from front to back is too short. The clear image falls beyond the retina and the eye sees a blurred image. Hypermetropia may be corrected by the use of a biconvex lens.
