- If the person is an old man, then the defect of vision is presbyopia. It usually occurs in old age when a person cannot see nearby objects clearly because of the loss of the eye's power of accommodation.
- If the person is a young man, the defect of vision is hypermetropia. Hypermetropia occurs either because the eye lens has low converging power or because the eyeball is too short. This makes the near vision defective.
