Some people can see near objects clearly but cannot see distant objects clearly. This defect of the eye is known as:

• B. hypermetropia
• C. presbyopia
• D. longsightedness

Answer 1

Answer:

A. myopia

• Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common vision defect where a person can see near objects clearly but has difficulty seeing distant objects clearly.

• This occurs when the eyeball is slightly longer than normal or the cornea is too steep, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
