Question: 1 / 400

Which type of lenses correct hyperopia?

Minus

Plus

Plus lenses correct hyperopia by converging light rays to bring the focal point further back, allowing the image to be focused directly on the retina. Hyperopia, or farsightedness, occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, causing light to focus behind the retina rather than directly on it. Plus lenses help to compensate for this by adding focusing power to bring the image into focus on the retina.

The other options are:

- Minus lenses are used to correct nearsightedness (myopia), where the light rays focus in front of the retina.

- Bifocal lenses have two distinct optical powers to correct both distance and near vision, but they are not specifically designed to correct hyperopia.

- Toric lenses are used to correct astigmatism, which is a different condition than hyperopia.
