Answer» Solution :Myopic This term is used to define short sightedness. Light from a distant object forms an image before it reaches the retina. This could be because the eye is too LONG or the cornea or crystalline LENS is too strong. A myopic person has clear vision when looking at objects CLOSE to them but distant objects will appear blurred. Tocorrect this defects a concave lens (MINUS powered) is placed in front of a myopic eye, moving the image back to the retina and clarifying the image. ![]() Hypermetropic It means long sightedness, and, in which the image of a nearby object is formed behind the retina.This could be because the eye is too short or the cornea or crystalline lens does not refractthe light enough. A hypermetropic person may have blurred vision when looking at objects close to them and clearer vision when looking at objects in th distance. ![]() To correct this defectsa CONVEX lens (plus powered) in front of a hypermetropic eye, the image is moved forward and focuses correctly on the retina.
