    Solution

    Hypermetropia (farsightedness) occurs when a person cannot see nearby objects clearly, and the near point of the eye shifts away from the normal position. The eye lens cannot focus properly for close vision. Information Booster:      

    1. It is corrected using convex lenses.
    2. It may occur due to a short eyeball or reduced elasticity of the lens.
    3. Distant vision remains unaffected in hypermetropia.
