Question

If a person's near point is 25 cm (normal) but their far point is not infinity, what defect does this indicate?

• A. No defect
• B. Myopia (near sightedness)
• C. Hypermetropia (far sightedness)
• D. Presbyopia

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Myopia (near sightedness)

Hypermetropia (Long-sightedness)

Explanation:

• Normal near point suggests that the person can see objects clearly at 25 cm.

• Far point not being infinity means that the person cannot see distant objects clearly.

• This is characteristic of hypermetropia, where the eyeball is too short or the lens is too weak, causing close objects to be seen clearly but distant objects to appear blurred.
