Practice Question
During an eye assessment, an adult client reports difficulty seeing items at the distant range but clear in near vision. What vision does the client have?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Myopia
Rationale:
🔵 Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when the client can see near objects clearly but has difficulty seeing distant objects.
🔵 This happens because light rays focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it, often due to an elongated eyeball or overly curved cornea.
🔵 Myopia is one of the most common refractive errors and typically presents exactly as the client describes: blurred distant vision but normal near vision.
🔵 It can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery that adjusts focal length.
🔵 This condition is not age-related and can occur in adults and children.
❌ Incorrect Options
Scotoma
🔸 A scotoma is a blind spot in vision, not difficulty with distance vision.
🔸 It is commonly associated with retinal or neurological conditions, not refractive errors.
Diplopia
🔸 Diplopia means double vision, not blurred distance vision.
🔸 It arises from ocular misalignment or neurological issues.
Presbyopia
🔸 Presbyopia is age-related farsightedness, causing difficulty with near vision, not distant vision.
🔸 It results from loss of lens elasticity, opposite of the symptoms described.
