A person can read a book clearly only if he holds it at an arm's length from him. Name the defect of vision:
if the person is a young man

Solution
If the person is a young man, the defect of vision is hypermetropia. Hypermetropia occurs either because the eye lens has low converging power or because the eyeball is too short. This makes the near vision defective.
