Q112 (CDS-I/2010) Science & Technology › Biotechnology & Health › Human nutrition and health Answer Verified

Consider the following statements 1. A person with myopia can see distant objects distinctly but cannot see nearby objects clearly. 2. A person with hypermetropia cannot see distant objects clearly. 3. A person with presbyopia can see nearby objects without corrective glasses. Which of the statements given above is/are not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

All three statements are incorrect. Statement 1 is false because myopia (near-sightedness) allows a person to see nearby objects clearly, but distant objects appear blurry as the image is focused in front of the retina [2]. Statement 2 is false because hypermetropia (far-sightedness) allows a person to see distant objects clearly, but they struggle to focus on nearby objects [2]. Statement 3 is false because presbyopia is an age-related condition where the eye loses its power of accommodation, making it difficult to see nearby objects comfortably without corrective lenses [2]. In presbyopia, the near point recedes, necessitating the use of convex lenses for reading or close work. Since the question asks for the statements that are 'not correct', all three (1, 2, and 3) fit the criteria.
