उत्तर
| Sl. 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 as a concave lens decreases the converging power of the eye lens and therefore helps in forming the images of faraway objects on the retina of the myopic eye. | A person suffering from hypermetropia should wear spectacles with convex lenses as a convex lens increases the converging power of the eye lens and therefore helps in forming the images of nearby objects on the retina of the hypermetropic eye. |
