Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Far-sightedness is another name for hypermetropia. A person with hypermetropia can distinguish between distant and close-up things but cannot differentiate between them. The person's near point is further away than the typical near point (

25 cm

). To read comfortably, such a person must keep a book significantly farther away from their eyes than

25 cm

. This is due to a spot behind the retina where the light rays from a nearby object are concentrated. This flaw results from either an excessively long focal length of the eye lens or an excessively tiny eyeball. A convex lens with the correct power can be used to rectify this flaw. Converging lenses in eyewear provide the extra focusing strength needed to construct the image on the retina.
