In farsightedness (hypermetropia) the eye cannot see nearby objects clearly because the image of a nearby object is formed at which location?
AIn front of the retina
BExactly on the retina
CBehind the retina
DOn the iris surface
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Behind the retina
1. In hypermetropia the near point shifts farther than 25 cm.
2. The converging power is too low, so the image of a nearby object forms behind the retina.
3. Image formation in front of the retina is myopia, so that option is incorrect.
