Solution

The correct option is A Myopia
Myopia is nearsightedness and short-sightedness, is a condition of the eye where the light that comes in does not directly focus on the retina but in front of it, causing the image that one sees when looking at a distant object to be out of focus, but in focus when looking at a close object.
It can be corrected by the use of corrective lenses that have a negative optical power i.e., concave glasses which compensates for the excessive positive diopters of the myopic eye.
So, the correct answer is option A.
