Hypermetropia, also known as farsightedness, occurs when the eye is unable to focus on nearby objects clearly. In this condition, the image is formed behind the retina. To correct this issue, a convex lens is used, which helps to bring the image forward onto the retina.

Correct Answer

The correct option is:

  • B. Behind the retina and is corrected by convex lens

How Convex Lenses Help

Convex lenses are thicker in the middle and help to converge light rays, allowing the eye to focus images correctly on the retina.
