Q. The defect of vision in which the person is able to see distant object distinctly but cannot see nearby objects clearly is called?
Solution:
A person with hypermetropia/hyperopia or long sight can see clearly objects far away from them, but not close to them.
This is caused by the shape of the eye – the eyeball is slightly too short.
It is corrected by spectacles or contact lenses with lenses which are ‘plus’ or convex in shape .
Myopia or short sightness can be corrected by using concave lens .
