Solution

Myopia:

  • It is an eye disease that may occur to any person at any age.

  • The person is unable to see distant objects clearly.

  • It is caused either due to the increased focal power of the lens (lens become more convex) or the eyeball becomes larger.

  • It is also called a short-sightedness.

  • It can be corrected by the use of biconcave lenses, which are also called as “minus lenses”.
