The Human Eye -Terms Related to Human Eye
• Near point of the eye:
➔ The minimum distance, at which an object can be seen
most distinctly without any strain is called the least
distance
of the distinct vision.
➔ For a normal eye of an adult, it is 25 cm.
➔ It is also called near point of the eye.
The Human Eye -Terms Related to Human Eye
• Far point of the eye
➔ It is the farthest point up to which the eye can see
clearly.
➔ It is infinity for normal eye.

Defects of Vision and their Corre ction
• The defects due to which a person cannot see the
object distinctly and comfortably are called defects of
vision.
• The main defects
of vision are:
1. Myopia
or near/short sightedness
2. Hypermetropia or far/long sightedness
3. Presbyopia
CLASS lOtti -PHYSICS -TAE AtlM~N EYE ~ND TRE COLOURFUL WOR
Defects of Vision and their Correction -Myopia
Myopia or Near/S hort Sightedness
• In this
defect, a person can see nearby objects distinctly but cannot see distant
objects clearly.
•
In this case, image formed before retina and not by retina.
Causes
• This
defect arises due to the decrease in focal length of the· lens because of
➔ Excessive curvature of eye lens
➔ Elongation of the eyeball
• As a result,
the image is formed before retina.
Defects of Vision and their Correction - Myopia
Remedy
• This
defect can be corrected by using concave lens.
• A concave lens
of suitable power will bring back the
image on retina.
Defects of Vision and their Correction -Hypermetropia
Hypermetropia
Correction: Convex lens
Defects of Vision and their Correction -Hypermetropia
Hypermetropia or Far/Long Sightedne ss
• In this defect, a person can see distant objects clearly but
cannot see nearby objects clearly.
• A person
with this defect has the near point farther away
from normal near point (25 cm).
• In this case, the image is formed behind retina.
Causes
• This
defect .arises due to following reasons:
➔ Focal length of eye lens becomes large.
➔ Eyeball becomes too short, so that the image is formed
behind retina.
Defects of Vision and their Correction - Hypermetropia
Remedy
• This
defect can be corrected by using a convex lens of suitable
power.
• This
will bring the image back on retina.
Defects of Vision and their Correction -Presbyopia
• It is found in old people.
• For most
of the people, the near point gradually recedes away
with age.
• Sometimes, a person may suffer
from both myopia and
hypermetropia.
Cau
ses
• This defect arises due to the following reasons:
➔ Weakness of ciliary muscles.
➔ Hardening or loss elasticity of eye lens.
