Question

Presbyopia is diagnosed when the lens of the eye focuses incoming light rays to a position between the retina and the choroid. Which type of lens should be placed in front of the eye to focus light on the retina and correct this condition?

A. Flat
B. Spherical
C. Diverging
D. Converging

Answer 1

To correct presbyopia, where incoming light rays are focused between the retina and the choroid, a converging (convex) lens is used to focus light on the retina.

Step-by-step explanation:

Presbyopia is diagnosed when the lens of the eye focuses incoming light rays to a position between the retina and the choroid. To correct this condition, light needs to be focused on the retina. The type of lens required for this correction is a converging lens, also known as a convex lens. This lens type gathers the rays slightly so they can focus onto the retina, addressing the issue that causes hyperopia (farsightedness).
