Hypermeteropia is corrected by _________ lens.

Explanation

(i) In hypermeteropia curvature of the cornea and eye lens decreases so that the converging power of the lens becomes less.
(ii) Due to the flattening of the eye-ball the distance between the lens and retina decreases.
(iii) This defect can be corrected by using a convex lens. This lens converges the incident rays which are further converged by retina to get a sharp image of nearby object on the retina.
