### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Myopia and Hypermetropia**: - **Myopia (Short-sightedness)**: A person is considered myopic when they can see nearby objects clearly, but distant objects appear blurry. This occurs because the eye's lens focuses images in front of the retina. - **Hypermetropia (Far-sightedness)**: A person is considered hypermetropic when they can see distant objects clearly, but nearby objects appear blurry. This happens because the eye's lens focuses images behind the retina. 2. **Diagrams**: - **Myopic Eye Diagram**: ...
