A near-sighted person cannot clearly see beyond 200 cm. Find the power of the lens needed to see objects at large distances.
For a near-sighted person, the point where object is placed, u = ∞
Distance between eye-lens and retina , v = – 200 cm = – 2 m
Using lens formula-
![]()
Substituting the values-
![]()
![]()
Now, the power of the lens becomes –
![]()
