Question

The defect of vision in which the people cannot see the objects beyond far point is called

• A. presbyopia
• B. hypermetropia
• C. myopia
• D. the angle of vision

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Correct answer: myopia 

Explanation:
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a vision defect where a person cannot see distant objects clearly, but can see nearby objects without difficulty. 

This happens because the image of a distant object is formed in front of the retina instead of on it. It is usually caused by: - An elongated eyeball, or - A too curved eye lens. 

Correction: Myopia is corrected using a concave lens, which diverges light rays before they enter the eye. 

Other options:
- Hypermetropia: Farsightedness – difficulty seeing nearby objects.
- Presbyopia: Age-related condition affecting both near and far vision.
- Angle of vision: Not a defect of vision. 

Hence, the correct answer is: myopia.
