Myopia affects vision by causing what?

• A. Inability to see distant objects clearly
• B. Inability to see near objects clearly
• C. Loss of peripheral vision
• D. Night blindness

Answer: (A)

Myopia means nearsightedness: distant objects look blurry while close ones stay clear. This happens because the eye’s image focuses in front of the retina, often because the eyeball is a bit too long or the cornea is too curved. Light from faraway objects lands short of the retina, so you can’t see them clearly. Near objects don’t require as much focusing, so they can often be seen well without strain. Corrective lenses that are diverging (concave) spread light slightly so the focal point shifts back onto the retina, restoring sharp distance vision. The other options describe problems with near vision, peripheral vision, or night vision, which aren’t typical signs of myopia.
