Question

Myopia may arise due to ____ .

a. Elongation of eyeball
b. Shrinking of the eyeball
c. Long focal length of the eye
d. Increased curvature of the eye lens

• A. a and b
• B. b and c
• C. c and d
• D. a and d

Answer 1

The correct option is D a and d

A person with myopia can see nearby objects clearly but cannot see distant objects distinctly. A person with this defect has the far point nearer than infinity. In a myopic eye, the image of a distant object is formed in front of the retina and not at the retina itself either because of the excessive curvature of the eye lens or elongation of the eyeball.
