As you continue to age, the corrective lenses will no longer be sufficient to allow you to see an object that is 25 cm in front of your eye. When you are wearing your corrective lenses, suppose that you can now see objects only if they are no closer than 36 cm in front of your eye. What is the actual near point of your eye now?
N =  ?

Answer #1

Near point is the distance from the eye, closer to which an object cannot be seen clearly. Here, that distance is 36 cm.

So, the actual near point N = 36 cm

    When glasses (or contact lenses) are used to correct nearsightedness, where should the corrective lens form an image of an object located at infinity in order for the eye to form a clear image of that object? The lens should form the image at the near point. The lens should form the image at the far point. The lens should form the image at a point closer to the eye than the near point. The lens should form the image...

    Without corrective lenses, a person's far point is 17.2cm and the power of their relaxed eye is 51.2 D. A lens is placed 1.85cm away from the eye. What power will the lens be to allow them to see objects at a distance? Can you explain why the relaxed eye has a power of +51.2? When they are nearsighted shouldn't diopters be negative??

    Background information A person with normal vision can focus on objects as close as a few centimeters from the eye up to objects infinitely far away. There exist, however, certain conditions under which the range of vision is not so extended. For example, a nearsighted person cannot focus on objects farther than a certain point (the far point), while a farsighted person cannot focus on objects closer than a certain point (the near point). Note that even though the presence...

    1. Susan is quite nearsighted; without her glasses, her far point is 52 cm and her near point is 16 cm. Her glasses allow her to view distant objects with her eye relaxed. (a) Are the lenses of her glasses converging or diverging? (b) Find the focal length of the lenses of her glasses. (c) Find her near point while wearing her glasses. (d) Find the minimum power of the lens she should use as a magnifier in order to...

    Part II: Corrective Eyeglasses Not everybody can adjust their eyes to be able to see both distant and nearby objects clearly. In a normal eye, light from a distant object forms a sharp image on the retina. In a far-sighted eye, light from a distant object converges too gradually and would form a sharp image behind the retina (of course the retina gets in the way, and thus a blurry image hits the retina). In a near-sighted eye light from...
