Worked practice questions

Hypermetropia is corrected using a:

  1. Plain mirror
  2. Concave lens
  3. Bifocal cylindrical lens
  4. Convex lens
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Convex lens

1. In hypermetropia near objects focus behind the retina. 2. A convex (converging) lens adds extra converging power. 3. It shifts the image forward onto the retina. _Source: syllabus Science, Ch 10 "The Human Eye and the Colourful World", §10.2_

Presbyopia arises because:

  1. The ciliary muscles weaken and the lens loses flexibility with age
  2. The retina detaches
  3. The optic nerve thickens (option)
  4. The iris loses pigment
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. The ciliary muscles weaken and the lens loses flexibility with age

1. Presbyopia is an age-related loss of accommodation. 2. It is caused by weakening of ciliary muscles and reduced lens flexibility. 3. Near vision becomes hard; reading glasses (convex lenses) are needed. _Source: syllabus Science, Ch 10 "The Human Eye and the Colourful World", §10.2_

A bifocal lens used for presbyopia + myopia has:

  1. Upper convex portion and lower concave portion
  2. Upper concave portion and lower convex portion
  3. Two convex portions of equal power
  4. Two concave portions of equal power
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Upper concave portion and lower convex portion

1. Distant vision needs a concave lens, used for looking ahead — placed on top. 2. Near vision (reading) needs a convex lens — placed at the bottom. 3. The bifocal stacks the two together. _Source: syllabus Science, Ch 10 "The Human Eye and the Colourful World", §10.2_
