• B. Eye ball is normal but image is formed over blind spot
• C. Eye ball is normal but images is formed slightly behind the retina due to faulty lens
• D. Curvature of cornea becomes irregular

Answer 1

The correct option is A Image is formed slightly in front of retina because eye ball is longer

In myopia, near objects appear clear but distant objects appear blurry as the elongation of the eyeball occurs along its axis. And this condition mainly arises due to differences in the distances between the lens of the eye and the retina. In myopia, image is formed in front of the retina because focal length of the eye lens is decreased.
