Vedclass · Answer

(D) Hypermetropia,also known as farsightedness,is a defect of vision in which a person can see distant objects clearly but cannot see nearby objects distinctly.In this condition,the light rays from a nearby object are focused at a point behind the retina instead of on the retina itself.This happens because either the eyeball has become too short or the focal length of the eye lens is too long.Therefore,the correct option is $D$.

In the eye of a person suffering from hypermetropia (farsightedness),where is the image of a nearby object formed?
