Explain the causes of Myopia and Hyperopia
Exam-ready answer • 02 Mark
✓Answer
| Defect | Cause |
| Myopia (Near-sightedness) | This defect occurs when the eyeball becomes too long or the lens becomes too convex. As a result, light rays focus in front of the retina, causing distant objects to appear blurred. |
| Hyperopia (Far-sightedness) | This defect occurs when the eyeball becomes too short or the lens is too flat. As a result, light rays focus behind the retina, making nearby objects appear blurred. |
