Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a condition in which close objects are seen clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred. This occurs because the eye is longer than normal, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. As a result, a near source of light is focused on the retina without the need for accommodation (adjustment of lens shape). The other options, such as uneven curvature of the lens (A) or using a convex lens to correct the condition (C), do not accurately describe myopia. The option about fusion of images in the cortex (D) is unrelated to myopia.
