Question
A person with hyperopia (farsightedness) needs to bring distant objects into sharp focus on their retina. What type of corrective lens is used for this condition?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
For presbyopic or hyperopic eyes, which form images beyond the retina, 'To correct this defect, a converging lens is used to focus the image on the retina'. Converging lenses add power to the eye's system, helping to focus light sooner.
Hint
Hyperopic eyes focus light behind the retina, so a lens that converges light is needed.
