Which defect of vision is corrected by a convex lens?

AMyopia
BColour blindness
CHypermetropia
DCataract
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Hypermetropia
1. Hypermetropia means the eye can focus only on distant objects. 2. Near rays form an image behind the retina. 3. A convex (converging) lens brings rays together before they enter the eye. 4. The image now forms on the retina. 5. So hypermetropia needs a convex lens for correction. _Source: syllabus Science Ch 11 'Human Eye and the Colourful World'_
