Human physiology — vision defects: Myopia is associated with which condition of the eye? State the optical effect and typical correction. Choose the correct association.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Near-sightedness (image forms in front of the retina); corrected with concave lenses

Explanation:


Concept / Approach
Myopia = near-sightedness: parallel rays focus in front of the retina because the eyeball is too long and/or the cornea-lens system too powerful. A diverging (concave) lens moves the focal point back onto the retina.


Final Answer
Near-sightedness; corrected with concave lenses.
