When person is unable to see far away objects clearly or when the far point of eye of person has been shifted from ∞ to a nearer point then we say person is suffering from myopia, and when person is unable to see near by objects clearly or when the near point of eye of person has been shifted from 25 cm to a point away then we say person is suffering from hypermetropia.
Causes of hypermetropia –
(1) Increase in focal length of eye lens.
(2) The eye ball has become to small.
