Which term or phrase accurately describes myopia?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Nearsightedness
Rationale:
👁️ Myopia is commonly known as nearsightedness, meaning the person can see objects close up clearly, but distant objects appear blurred.
👁️ It occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea curves too much, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
👁️ Myopia is corrected using concave (minus) lenses, which help focus light properly on the retina.
