When do we consider a person to be myopic or hypermetropic? Explain using diagrams how the defects associated with myopic and hypermetropic eye can be corrected?
A person is considered to be myopic if he/ she can see nearby objects but is unable to see distant object. A person is said to hypermetropic, if the person is not able to see nearby objects but can see distant objects.
The myopia defect can be corrected with the help of concave lens of suitable power. The ray diagram of Myopic eye are as follows:
The hypermetropia defect can be corrected with the help of convex lens of suitable power. The ray diagram of hypermetropia eye are as follows:
