Hypermetropia, or far-sightedness, is a refractive error where distant objects are seen clearly, but near objects appear blurry. This occurs because the eye focuses the image of nearby objects behind the retina. It is corrected using a convex lens (also known as a converging lens) which helps to converge the light rays onto the retina.
Which one of the following statements is not true for a person suffering from hypermetropia?
