LONG SIGHTEDNESS OR HYPER METROPIA

SYMPTOMS
In HYPER METROPIA, a person can not see objects clearly which are near to him, but he can see clearly     distant objects
REASON
The reason for HYPER METROPIA is that either the focal length of the lens of eye is too long or the     eyeball is too short.
WHAT HAPPENS IN HYPER METROPIA
In HYPER METROPIA, light rays from a near object are focused behind the Retina.
CORRECTION OF DEFECT
This defect can be corrected by using a convex lens of suitable focal length
POWER OF LENS
Power of lens is defined as the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens in meters.
FORMULA:
Power = 1/f(in meter)
Unit of power of lens is Dioptre.
DIOPTRE
Dioptre is defined as the power of lens whose focal length is one meter
if f =1 meter then the power of the lens = 1 dioptre.
