2. HEALTH Long sighted people can only focus on far away objects.The eye behaves normally.When viewing nearby objects,the lens brings the rays of light to a focus beyond the retina.

3. HEALTH This is rectified by putting a convex lens in front of the eye.

4. HEALTH Short sighted people can only focus on nearby objects.The eye works normally. Short sighted people can only focus on nearby objects.The eye works normally. With nearby objects, the lens brings the rays to a focus before the retina.This is corrected by putting a concave lens in front of the eye.
