For a person with hypermetropia, the near point is farther away from the normal near point (25 cm). Reading material must be kept much beyond 25 cm for comfortable reading.
How does hypermetropia impact the near point for an individual, and what distance is typically comfortable for reading in such cases?

Hypermetropia, or farsightedness, affects the near point for individuals by making it more challenging to focus on close objects. In hypermetropia, light entering the eye converges behind the retina, causing nearby images to appear blurred. As a result, the near point is typically farther away than normal. Individuals with hypermetropia may find it difficult to read or perform close-up tasks comfortably. Reading glasses or corrective lenses with convex surfaces are commonly prescribed to converge incoming light properly, allowing individuals with hypermetropia to see nearby objects more clearly, with a comfortable near point typically beyond the standard reading distance.
