Final answer:

This answer explains nearsightedness and farsightedness, their causes, and corrective measures in a clear and concise manner.


Explanation:

Nearsightedness (Myopia):

  • (i) Nearby objects: In myopia, the person can't see nearby objects clearly.
  • (ii) Distant objects: Distant objects appear blurry due to overconvergence of light before reaching the retina.

Farsightedness (Hyperopia):

  • (i) Defect: Ritu is farsighted needing a lens of power -2D.
  • (ii) Cause: Hyperopia results from insufficient convergence of light from close objects.
  • (iii) Corrective lens: Ritu requires a concave lens to diverge light rays appropriately on the retina for clear vision.
