उत्तर

Sr. No. Myopia (Short-sightedness) Hypermetropia (Long-sightedness)
1. A defect of vision because of which a person cannot see distant objects clearly. A defect of vision because of which a person cannot see nearby objects clearly.
2. The far point of a myopic eye is closer than infinity. The near point of a hypermetropic eye is more than 25 cm away.
3. Myopia occurs because the eye lens has a high converging power or because the eye ball is too long. Hypermetropia occurs because the eye lens has a low converging power or because the eye ball is too short.
4. A person suffering from myopia should wear spectacles with concave lenses. A person suffering from hypermetropia should wear spectacles with convex lenses.
