Q: For a person with hypermetropia or far-sightedness, the near point, is ____ farther away from the normal near point.
  • A. 27 cm
  • B. 26 cm
  • C. 25 cm
  • D. 24 cm
Correct Answer: Option C - For a person with hypermetropia or far-sightedness, the near point, is 25 cm farther away from the normal near point. Far-sighted individuals are unable to focus on near objects. A normal near point is 25 cm, and if an individual's near point is beyond that, a converging (convex) lens must be used to modify light from an object at the normal near point to form an image at the individual's near point.
