Question
Man, $A$ has a defect of vision due to which he cannot see the nearby objects clearly $($though he can see the distant objects clearly$)$. On the other hand, man $B$ has a defect of vision due to which he cannot see the distant object clearly $($though he can see the nearby objects clearly$)$. The defect in man $A$ can be corrected by using spectacles containing lenses $C$ whereas the defect in man $B$ can be corrected by using spectacles containing lenses $D.$
$a.$ Name the defect of vision in man $(i) A$, and $(ii) B.$
$b.$ What type of lenses are $(i) C,$ and $(ii) D?$

Answer

The defect of vision in man are:
$i.$ Man $A$ suffers from hypermetropia wherein the image of a nearby object is formed behind the retina so the person has a blurred vision while looking at nearby objects.
$ii.$ Man $B$ suffers from myopia wherein Light from a distant object forms an image before it reaches the retina so the person can see the nearby objects clearly but not the distant objects.
The lenses are:
$i. C$ are Convex lens. These lenses are placed in front of a hyper$-$metropic eye which moves the image forward and focuses directly onto the retina which clears the vision of a nearby object.
$ii. D$ are concave lenses. These lenses are placed in front of a myopic eye which moves the image back to the retina and clarifies the image of a distant object.
