Question 9

A person suffering from hypermetropia (farsightedness) uses corrective lenses. Which type of lens is typically prescribed, and where does the image of a nearby object form without correction?

Accepted Answer

C. Convex lens; image forms behind the retina. — Hypermetropia, or farsightedness, occurs when the eye's lens or cornea is unable to converge light sufficiently, causing light rays from nearby objects to focus at a point behind the retina. To correct this condition, a convex (converging) lens is prescribed. This lens helps to increase the convergence of light rays before they enter the eye, ensuring they focus correctly on the retina for clear vision.

Answer

A. Concave lens; image forms behind the retina.

Answer

B. Convex lens; image forms in front of the retina.

Answer

D. Concave lens; image forms in front of the retina.
