Mr Bharat's 65 year old mother was complaining about blurred vision in both the eyes due to which she could not see things clearly, Mr Bharat took his mother to an eye hospital. The doctor examined her eyes carefully and concluded that she has a medical condition which could not be corrected by using any type of spectacle lenses and it required surgery. Her eyes were operated upon and she could then see once again properly. What could be the defect in the eyes of Mr Bharat's mother?

An eye camp was organised by the doctors in a village. They found that the eyes of aged people in the village have the near point receded and the far point also gets reduced. Often aged people suffer from both myopia and hypermetropia. Doctors (opthalmologists) provide these people spectacles of bi-focal lenses to correct the defects. The people were happy and grateful to the doctors. Name the eye defect from which the people were suffering
