Question

A person who can see distant objects clearly but cannot see near objects clearly is said to be myopia.
A) True
B) False

Answer 1

In this question a person can see distant objects clearly but cannot see near objects clearly. So, we have to find the medical name of this problem with eyes. We will see the following explanation to find out about this problem.

Complete answer:
Myopia is a common vision condition in which the person can clearly see the objects near to him but he cannot see distant objects. This is because the eyeball becomes too long or we can say that the outer layer of the eye (Cornea) is too curved so the light rays entering in the eye don’t focus correctly. So the image of the objects will be formed in front of the retina instead of on the retina. This causes a blurred vision and the person cannot see properly. This condition is also known as shortsightedness.
Hypermetropia is a common vision condition in which the person cannot see the objects near to him but he can clearly see distant objects. This condition is also known as farsightedness. In this problem the eye is too short or the power of focus is very weak. The outer layer of eye (Cornea) and the eye lens focus the image on the surface of the retina or at the back side of our eye. Hence the image is formed at the wrong place. So it causes blurred vision.
Result- Hence, from the above explanation we can see that the statement given in this question is wrong.

So the statement is false.

Note: To solve such types of questions we have to have the knowledge of all the vision conditions. Only after that we will be able to solve these questions or to find whether a given statement is right or wrong.
