Q: Hypermetropia can be corrected by using:
  • A. convex lenses
  • B. bi-focal lenses
  • C. concave lenses
  • D. trifocal lenses
Correct Answer: Option A - Far-sightedness, also known as long-sightedness, hypermetropia, or hyperopia, is a condition of the eye where distant objects are seen clearly but near objects appear blurred. This blurred effect is due to incoming light being focused behind, instead of on, the retina wall due to insufficient accommodation by the lens. The simplest form of treatment for far-sightedness is the use of corrective lenses. Eyeglasses used to correct far-sightedness have convex lenses.
