Question

Myopia is caused due to

• A. High diverging power of the eye lens.
• B. High converging power of the eye lens.
• C. The blind spot on the retina.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

High converging power of the eye lens.

1. Myopia is short-sightedness in which a person is unable to see things that are far away.
2. Myopia is caused due to short focal length of the eye lens i.e due to the high converging power of the eye lens.
3. A concave lens is used for the correction of this defect.

Thus, Myopia is caused due to high converging power of the eye lens.

Final answer: Hence, the correct option is (B).
