Convex lens is used to correct hypermetropia.

1. In hypermetropia, the distance on account of either shortening of eye ball or flattening of lens.
2. A convex lens causes converging of rays before they strike the retina of the eye.
3. The power of convex lens is so chosen that it creates required convergence and hence after convergence by eye lens, the image is formed on the retina.
