Question

A person with vision defect 'Myopia' can see:

Answer & Solution

Answer: (Detailed Solution Below)

Option A: nearby objects clearly

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “nearby objects clearly”.
A person with the vision defect Myopia (nearsightedness) can see nearby objects clearly but has difficulty focusing on distant objects. In myopia, the eye focuses images in front of the retina, making distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly.

To treat myopia, concave lenses (or diverging lenses) are used. These lenses help to diverge light rays before they enter the eye, which corrects the focal point so that images are focused on the retina rather than in front of it.
