A. hypermetropia B. astigmatism C. presbyopia D. myopia Show Content Detailed Solution Myopia occurs when the shape of your eye causes light rays to bend (refract) incorrectly, focusing images in front of your retina instead of on your retina.	D

A. convex lens B. concave lens C. bifocal lens D. cylindrical lens Show Content Detailed Solution Nearsightedness (myopia) is corrected with lenses called “minus power lenses.” They are concave-shaped and help the eyes focus light properly. Myopia causes a person to see distant objects as blurry.	B
