Why does a hypermetropic eye have its near point farther than 25 cm?

1. In hypermetropia the eye's converging power is too weak. 2. This happens when the eyeball is too short relative to the lens. 3. Alternatively the lens may be too flat (low curvature). 4. Near rays converge behind the retina, giving a blurred image. 5. So the near point shifts farther than 25 cm. 6. A convex lens compensates by adding converging power. _Source: syllabus Science Ch 11 'Human Eye and the Colourful World'_
