The correct answer is Beyond 25 cm.

Key Points

  • Far-sightedness (Hyperopia) is a condition where distant objects can be seen more clearly than near objects.
  • For a comfortable reading experience, a far-sighted person needs to hold the reading material beyond the near point of their vision.
  • The typical near point for a normal eye is about 25 cm. In far-sighted individuals, this point is farther away.
  • Therefore, to read comfortably, a far-sighted person needs to place the reading material beyond 25 cm from their eyes.

Important Points

  • Far-sightedness is often corrected with convex lenses, which help focus the light directly onto the retina.
  • The condition is common and can be present at birth or develop with age.
  • Routine eye examinations can help detect far-sightedness and other vision issues early on.
  • Proper lighting and holding the reading material at the correct distance can reduce eye strain for far-sighted individuals.
