Option 3 : In the affected eye, the image of a distant object is formed beyond the retina

The correct answer is In the affected eye, the image of a distant object is formed beyond the retina

  • Myopia is a defect of an eye in which it cannot see distant objects clearly.
  • A person with Myopia can see nearby objects clearly.
  • Myopia is caused by due to - High converging power of the lens, and Eye-ball being too long.
  • Due to the high converging power of the lens, the image is formed in front of the retina and a person cannot see clearly the distant objects.
  • Myopia or short-sightedness can be corrected by wearing spectacles containing a concave lens.
  • There are three common defects of vision :
