Consider the following statements: Hypermetropia is a defect of vision in which 1) A person cannot see the distant objects clearly 2) A person cannot see the near objects clearly 3) The near point of the eye gets shifted away from the normal position 4) The far point of the eye gets shifted towards the eye Which of the statements given above are correct? Correct Answer 2 and 3

CONCEPT:

Hypermetropia (long-sightedness):

  • It is a defect of the eye due to which a person can see farther objects clearly but nearer objects are not clearly visible.
  • The image is formed behind the retina and the near point moves away.

Corrections
Myopia (short-sightedness) The human eye can see a nearby object clearly but cannot see far away object clearly. concave lens

Presbyopia

In this defect, both near and far objects are not clearly visible. It is an old age disease and it is due to the loosing power of accommodation.

Bifocal lenses

Astigmatism

In this defect, the eye cannot see horizontal and vertical lines clearly, simultaneously. It is due to the imperfect spherical nature of the eye lens.

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
The human eye is a complex part of the body that is used for seeing. Eyes enable people to perform daily tasks and to learn about the world that surrounds them. Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an object, what he really sees is the light reflected from the object. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on the retina of the eye. Here the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain and then over other nerves to muscles and glands.
The eye is similar to a television camera. Both the eye and the television camera convert light energy to electrical energy. The eye converts light to nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain as the sense perception called sight. A television camera converts light to electronic signals that are broadcast and transformed into light images in a television receiver. It is wonderful that human eyes blink an average of once every six seconds. This washes the eye with the salty secretion from the tear or lachrymal glands. Each tear gland is about the size and shape of an almond. These glands are situated behind the upper eyelid at the outer corner of the eye. After passing over the eye, the liquid from the gland is drained into the nose through the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye. The eye is similar to the television camera because both
