Question

Which of the following refractive errors is associated with the image given below?

• A. Presbyopia
• B. Astigmatism
• C. Hypermetropia
• D. Myopia

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In ophthalmology, refractive errors are caused by the shape of the eye preventing light from focusing directly on the retina. Let's analyze the refractive error associated with the image.

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved. This causes light to focus in front of the retina, making distant objects appear blurry.

The image presented likely depicts the eye structure associated with myopia, where light rays focus in front of the retina.

Thus, the correct refractive error associated with the image is Myopia.
