Detailed Solution

The possible reason for hypermetropia is the focal length of the eye lens turns too long.
There are two possible causes of hypermetropia.
(i) The focal length of the eye lens is too long, which is due to the thinning of the eye lens. So, the image of the nearby objects is formed behind the retina.
(ii) Shortening or decrease in size of the eye lens: This leads to a decrease in the distance of the retina from the eye lens. As a result, again, the image is formed behind the retina.
