Which one of the following statements about myopia is incorrect?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is A myopic person cannot see nearby objects clearly.
· Myopia is a common refractive error where distant objects appear blurry while nearby objects are seen clearly. Thus, statement 3 is incorrect factually.
· It is caused by the elongation of the eyeball or excessive curvature of the cornea.
· A myopic person wears spectacles with concave lenses to correct their vision.
· The concave lenses help in diverging the light rays before they enter the eye, allowing the image to be focused on the retina.
· In myopia, the far point of vision comes closer, meaning distant objects cannot be seen clearly.
Additional Information
· Hyperopia (farsightedness) is the opposite condition, where distant objects are seen clearly, but nearby objects appear blurry.
· Astigmatism is another refractive error caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens, leading to distorted vision.
· Presbyopia is an age-related condition where the eye's lens loses flexibility, making it difficult to focus on close objects.
