What type of lens is used to correct hyperopia? (2020)

Step 1: Understand what hyperopia is. Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, means that distant objects can be seen clearly, but close objects appear blurry.
Step 2: Learn about lenses. Lenses are pieces of glass or plastic that can bend light to help us see better.
Step 3: Identify the type of lens needed. To correct hyperopia, we need a lens that helps focus light correctly on the retina.
Step 4: Know the type of lens used. A convex lens is used for hyperopia because it is thicker in the middle and helps to converge (bring together) light rays before they enter the eye.
Step 5: Remember the purpose. The convex lens allows people with hyperopia to see nearby objects more clearly.
