Sense Organs — the Eye & Ear

v=1.85 cm,  retina at 2 cmv = 1.85\ cm,\ \ \text{retina at }2\ cm
Eye typeMyopic (short-sighted)
Focus error-0.15 cm
Corrective power needed-0.04
  • With a NORMAL eye, confirm the image focuses exactly on the retina at any object distance
  • With a MYOPIC eye and a distant object, confirm the image forms in front of the retina
  • With a HYPERMETROPIC eye and a near object, confirm the image forms behind the retina
  • Correct the myopic eye's distance vision — apply a corrective lens and confirm the image is now on the retina
  • Correct the hypermetropic eye's near vision — apply a corrective lens and confirm the image is now on the retina
