Question

Myopia is due to

• A. elongation of eyeball and the thicker lens
• B. irregular change in focal length
• C. shortening of eyeball
• D. older age

Answer 1

The correct option is A

elongation of eyeball and the thicker lens

Explanation of correct option:

1. Myopia is also known as nearsightedness in which we cannot see distant objects clearly.
2. This happens as the image is not focused on the retina due to the larger size of the eyeball, instead, it is focused in front of the retina.
3. Thus, myopia is due to the elongation of the eyeball and the thicker lens.

Hence, the correct answer is an option (A).
