Question

Your friend is having an eyesight problem. She is not able to see clearly a distant uniform window mesh and it appears to her as non-uniform and distorted. The doctor diagnosed the problem as:

• A. myopia and hypermetropia
• B. astigmatism
• C. Myopia with astigmatism
• D. presbyopia with astigmatism

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Myopia with astigmatism

Explanations for correct option C: Myopia with Astigmatism

1)MYOPIA

1. Myopia is a defect in eyesight where a person is unable to see far-off objects clearly. The objects appear blurred to a person with Myopia.
2. From the question, if my friend is not able to see the distant window mesh clearly, it means she has Myopia.

2)ASTIGMATISM

1. Astigmatism is a vision problem caused due to irregularity in the curve of the cornea of the eye. Due to this, the person with Astigmatism can see the object as distorted and non-uniform.
2. From the question, if my friend can see the uniform window mesh as non-uniform and distorted, she has Astigmatism.

Therefore we can conclude that my friend has Myopia and Astigmatism.

The other options include 1) Hypermetropia in which nearby objects seem blurry.

2)presbyopia in which the eye is unable to focus on nearby objects.

These are not the cases in the question. Therefore these options are incorrect.

Hence, the correct option is (C).
