Q: Where is the image of an object formed in the eye of a person suffering from long-sightedness?
  • A. on the retina
  • B. on the cornea
  • C. behind the retina
  • D. before the retina
Correct Answer: Option C - It is a vision defect in which a person can see the distant objects clearly but cannot see the nearby objects clearly. In hypermetropia, the eyeball becomes smaller along its axis. The distance between the eye lens and the retina decreases. The image of the object placed at 25 cm from the eye is formed behind the retina. A hypermetropia eye is corrected by using of convex lens.
