Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When light waves from distant objects come into focus in front of the retina, nearsightedness occurs. This is because the eyeball is too long or the curvature of the cornea is too steep, causing the image to be focused in front of the retina instead of on it. Farsightedness, on the other hand, occurs when light waves are not refracted enough and come into focus behind the retina. Transduction is the process by which light waves are converted into neural signals by the photoreceptor cells in the retina.
