Question

Tom’s father is 48 years old. He is not able to see nearby objects clearly. (ref: p.508-511)

a. What may be the reason for his vision problem?
b. Where are images formed in this type of defected vision?
c. How is this defect corrected?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) hypermetropia is the reason for his problem

b.)Image is formed farther from the near point

c.) defect is corrected by convex lens

Answer 2

a) Hypermetropia

b) Image will form behind the cornea

c) This can be corrected by using convex lens of required focal length

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that due to age the iris of the eye lens got weak due to which the eye lens could not compress of stretch to adjust its focal length to see the far or nearby object

Due to this the focal length of eye could not adjust to see the near objects and it will form the image of nearby object behind the retina of eye

this will form blurred image and it is known as hypermetropia

This defect is corrected by using a convex lens of required focal length and this will adjust the image on the retina of eye
