The near point of eye suffering from hypermetropia is 1 m. Calculate the Power that is needed to correct this eye defect. In this case we are assuming the near point as 25 cm.

Verified by Experts

Here we know the values of u and v .Put these values in the fonnula given above and final f i.e focal length
Value of u=-1m =-100cm
Value of u=-1m=-100cm
Value of -25cm
Use the lens formula
(1/v)-(1/u)=1/f
`1/-25-1/-100=1/f
4-1/100=3/100
f=100/3=33cm
=1/.33=3D
Power of lens=1/f=3D
