What is myopia? How it is corrected?
EASY
Why is a normal eye not able to see clearly the objects placed closer than 25 cm?
EASY

Consider the following vision defects listed in Columns I and II and the corrective measures in Column III. Choose the correct combination.

   Column I    Column II    Column III
 P.  Hypermetropia  (i)  Near-sightedness  a.  Convex lens
 Q.  Myopia  (ii)  Far-sightedness  b.  Concave lens
HARD
Draw the ray diagram to show how hypermetropia is corrected.Make a diagram to show how hypermetropia is corrected. The near point of a hypermetropic eye is 1 m. What is the power of the lens required to correct this defect? Assume that the near point of the normal eye is 0.25 m.
EASY
Write the function of cornea of human eye.
HARD
What are the defects of vision? A person needs a lens of power, -5.5 D for correcting his distant vision. For correcting his near vision, he needs a lens of power, +1.5 D. What is the focal length of the lens required for correcting distant vision?
EASY

A short sighted person uses a spectacle of power -0.4 D to see very distant objects. How far can he see without using spectacle?

EASY

EASY

A student sitting on the last bench of a regular classroom is able to see the written work on a blackboard but unable to read from his textbook. Identify the type of defect of vision he is suffering from. What kind of lens should he wear to correct the defect?

EASY
Write the function of crystalline lens of human eye.
HARD
Shyam a student has difficulty reading the blackboard while setting in the last row. What could be the defect the child is suffering from? How can it be corrected? Explain with help of appropriate diagram.
MEDIUM
The far point of a myopic person is 80 cm in front of the eye. What is the nature and power of the lens required to correct the problem? Why do we have two eyes for vision and not just one?
EASY

In the given diagram which defect of the human eye is being corrected using a concave lens?
