(N/A) The defect of vision is Hypermetropia,also known as long-sightedness.
In this condition,the person can see distant objects clearly but cannot see nearby objects distinctly because the image of a nearby object is formed behind the retina.
It can be corrected by using a convex lens of suitable power,which converges the light rays before they enter the eye,allowing the image to be formed exactly on the retina.
