A near-sighted person can see only objects nearer than:
AHis near point
BHis blind spot
CInfinity
DHis far point
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. His far point
1. The far point of a normal eye is at infinity.
2. In myopia, the far point shifts closer to the eye.
3. Objects beyond the far point form blurred images.
4. A near-sighted person therefore cannot see beyond his far point.
5. So clear vision is possible only nearer than the far point.
