(a) A myopic person does not need spectacles while reading a book as he has the near point at 25 cm. If such person reads the book with corrective lens (concave) he will have to keep the book at a distance greater than 25 cm so that the image of book will be formed by the concave lens at 25 cm and moreover, the size of the book appears to him is also smaller then actual size. Therefore, the person prefer to remove his spectacles while reading a book. 

(b) A hypermetropic person does not need spectacles to see distant objects as he has the far point at infinity. If such person uses spectacles (convex lens) to see the distant objects, the image will be formed before the retina due to increase in converging power and hence the person cannot see distant objects distinctly. Therefore, such person prefers to remove his spectacles while looking at the sky.
