Hypermetropia (far-sightedness) is corrected using:
AA convex (converging) lens
BA concave (diverging) lens
CA cylindrical lens for astigmatism
DBifocal lenses for both
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A convex (converging) lens
1. In hypermetropia the image of a NEAR object forms BEHIND the retina.
2. A CONVEX lens converges light before it reaches the eye, bringing the image onto the retina.
3. Concave lens corrects myopia (the opposite defect).
