When do we consider a person to be myopic or hypermetropic? Explain using diagrams how the defects associated with myopic and hypermetropic eye can be corrected?

दीर्घउत्तर

उत्तर

  • Myopia : When a person can see nearby objects clearly but cannot see distant objects distinctly then the person is suffering from myopia. A person with this defect has the far point nearer than infinity. Myopia is also known as near-sightedness. 

                                                                   Myopia eye   
  • Correction of Myopia :  Wearing of concave lens diverges the light rays to help the image to be focused on the retina, hence myopia is corrected using the concave lens of suitable focal length.

                                    Correction for Myopia
  • Hypermetropia: When a person can see distant objects clearly but cannot see nearby objects distinctly, then the person is suffering from hypermetropia. The near point, for the person, is farther away from the normal near point (25 cm). Hypermetropia is also known as far-sightedness.

                                                           Hypermetropic eye
  • Correction of hypermetropia : Wearing a convex lens in front of a hypermetropic eye converges the light rays to help the image to be focused on the retina, hence this defect is corrected using the convex lens of suitable focal length.
