MCQ
Myopia occurs due to :
- AIncrease in the focal length of eye lens
- BDecrease in the distance between retina and lens
- ✓Decrease in the focal length of the eye lens
- DIncrease in the distance between retina and lens
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Decrease in the focal length of the eye lens
Myopia is the term used to define short sightedness.
Light from a distant object forms an image before it reaches the retina.
This is because the eye ball is too large, or the cornea or crystalline lens is too strong.
This results in decrease in focal length of eye lens, whereas the distance between retina and lens is always constant.
