What is myopia?


Write the importance of ciliary muscles in the human eye. Name the defect of vision that arises due to gradual weakening of the ciliary muscles. What types of lenses are required by the person suffering from this defect to see the objects clearly?

Akshay, sitting in the last row in his class, could not see clearly the words write on the blackboard. When the teacher noticed it, he announced if any student sitting in the front row could volunteer to exchange his seat with Akshay. Salman immediately agreed to exchange his seat with Akshay. He could now see the words written on the blackboard clearly. The teacher thought it fit to send the message to Akshay’s parents advising them to get his eyesight checked.

In the context of the above event, answer the following questions:-

(a) Which defect of vision is Akshay suffering from? Which type of lens is used to correct this defect?

(b) State the values displayed by the teacher and Salman.

(c) In your opinion, in what way can Akshay express his gratitude towards the teacher and Salman?


A student suffering from myopia is not able to see distinctly the objects placed beyond 5 m. List two possible reasons due to which this defect of vision may have arisen. With the help of ray diagrams, explain

(i) why the student is unable to see distinctly the objects placed beyond 5 m from his eyes.

(ii) the type  of the corrective lens used to restore proper vision and how this defect is corrected by the use of this lens.

(b) If, in this case, the numerical value of the focal length of the corrective lens is 5 m, find the power of the lens as per the new Cartesian sign convention


the biological/technical terms for the lens of eye losing flexibility resulting in a kind of long-sightedness in middle aged people.


What is the other name for 

 hypermetropia


What is the far point of a person suffering from myopia (or short-sightedness)?


 An eye has a near point distance of 0.75 m. What sort of lens in spectacles would be needed to reduce the near point distance to 0.25 m? Also calculate the power of lens required. Is this eye long-sighted or short-sighted? 


Name an old age eye defect. What happens in it?


By closing the eyes and gently pressing them by your palms, you may see some specks of brilliant light. How do you get this sensation while there is no light entering your eyes?

List two causes of presbyopia. Draw labelled diagram of a lens used for the correction of this defect of vision.

The near point of the eye of a person is 50 cm. Find the nature and power of the corrective lens required by the person to enable him to see clearly the objects placed at 25 cm from the eye?


A person is unable to see objects distinctly placed within 50 cm from his eyes.

(a) Name the defect of vision the person is suffering from and list its two possible causes.

(b) Draw a ray diagram to show the defect in the above case.

(c) Mention the type of lens used by him for the correction of the defect and calculate its power. Assume that the near point for the normal eye is 25 cm.

(d) Draw a labeled diagram for the correction of the defect in the above case.


Explain the Term: Astigmatism


Observe the given below the figure, correct it and explain and write about the concept depicted in this figure.


Myopia and hypermetropia can be corrected by:
