Solution
- Hypermetropia is a defect of vision that causes difficulty in focusing on nearby objects, but distant objects can be seen clearly.
[1 Mark]
- Hypermetropia, also known as long-sightedness, is caused when the image of a nearby object is formed behind the retina.
- This can be either due to shortening of eyeball or inflexibility of ciliary muscles leading to loss of accommodation in the eye lens.
