The condition where a person is unable to see distant objects clearly is called Myopia (nearsightedness). Statement I: Hypermetropia (farsightedness) is the difficulty in seeing near objects clearly. Therefore, stating the person is suffering from hypermetropia is incorrect for the described symptom. Statement II: Myopia is caused when light is focused in front of the retina. This can happen if the eyeball is too long (axial myopia) or if the cornea or lens is too curved, causing excessive refraction (refractive myopia). The statement correctly describes potential causes of this defect. Statement III: Myopia is corrected by using a concave (diverging) lens. A concave lens diverges light rays before they enter the eye, shifting the focal point backward onto the retina. This statement correctly describes the correction for this defect. Statement IV: A convex (converging) lens is used to correct hypermetropia or presbyopia, where light is focused behind the retina. Using a convex lens would worsen myopia. This statement is incorrect.
