### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Hypermetropia (Farsightedness)**: - Hypermetropia, commonly known as farsightedness, is a vision condition where distant objects can be seen clearly, but nearby objects appear blurry. This occurs because the light entering the eye is focused behind the retina. 2. **Causes of Hypermetropia**: - Hypermetropia is primarily caused by: - A shorter than normal eyeball (axial length is too short). ...
