A farsighted eye is corrected by placing a converging lens in front of the eye. The lens will create a virtual image that is located at the near point (the closest an object can be and still be in focus) of the viewer when the object is held at a comfortable distance, usually taken to be 25.0 cm.25.0 cm. If a person has a near point of 49.5 cm,49.5 cm, what power reading glasses should be prescribed to treat this hyperopia? Assume that the distance from the eye to the lens is negligible

Assume that the near point of a hyperopic (farsighted) eye is 0.936 m in front of the eye. A lens is used to let the eye see clearly an object that is 0.250 m in front of the eye. Ignore the small distance from the lens to the eye. What is the power of the lens (in diopters; answer sign and magnitude)?
A person sees clearly wearing eyeglasses that have a power of −2.00 diopters when the lenses are 2.30 cm in front of the eyes. (a) What is the focal length of the lens? cm(b) Is the person nearsighted or farsighted? nearsightedfarsighted (c) If the person wants to switch to contact lenses placed directly on the eyes, what lens power should be prescribed? diopters

An individual is nearsighted; his near point is 17.0 cm and his far point is 49.0 cm. (a) What lens power is needed to correct his nearsightedness? diopters(b) When the lenses are in use, what is this person's near point?
A patient cannot clearly see any object that lies closer than 32.0 cm to her right eye. However, the patient wishes to see objects as close as 20.0 cm with that eye. The patient requests eyeglasses to address the problem. (a) Is the patient nearsighted or farsighted? nearsightedfarsighted (b) If the eyeglass lens lies 2.10 cm in front of the patient's eye, what is the minimum distance p (in cm) separating the lens from an object she wants to see? (Give your answer to at least three significant digits.) cm (c) The patient is unable to focus clearly on anything closer than 32.0 cm to her eye (this being the patient's near point). The image formed by the eyeglass lens must therefore be 32.0 cm from the eye. How far, then, (in cm) would the image lie from the lens? (Give your answer to at least three significant digits.) cm (d) The image lies on the same side of the lens as the original object. Is the image real or virtual, and is its position q positive or…

What power of spectacle lens is needed to correct the vision of a nearsighted person whose far point is 40.0 cm? Assume the spectacle (corrective) lens is held 1.80 cm away from the eye by eyeglass frames
Problem 12: A student wears eyeglasses of power P = -3.75 diopter to correct nearsightedness. The glasses are designed to be worn d = 1.3 cm in front of the eye. Part (a) Input an expression for the far point the student can see without correction, do. Part (b) Numerically, what is the distance in meters?
Molly has a near point at 45 cm and requires eyeglasses to correct her vision. - What should be the prescription (i.e. the lens power) for her eye? Note: Corrective lenses are available in increments in power of 0.25 diopters, e.g. +1.0, +1.25, +1. 50,...,etc. (Answer must be divisible by 0.25 and the lenses should have the lowest power for which the new near point with the lens is no further than 25 cm) - A 9.0 mm base curve (i.e. radius of curvature) will best fit her cornea. Using the material with index of refractive 1.422, what should be the radius of curvature for the other side of the lens? - What is the new far point after wearing the contact lens.
