Expert Solution

1)MYOPIA OR NEAR SIGHTEDNESS

Myopia or Near sightedness is visual impairement characterized by difficulty in looking distant object.

Near object can be viewed without any defect thatwhy it is called Nearsihtedness.

In this patient the reason for the myopia is Long EyeBall.

Normally, The light rays entering the eye are focused by the lens into the Retina. if the length of the Eyeball increases the Light cannot be converged on to the Retina, the image is formed infront of the retina. Retina will only recieve Diverged rays .

2) MORE CONVEX.

The patient is having ,myopia , so the cornea will be more bulged that means the curvature of the cornea is more.

When the curvature of the lens increases , the radius of the lens will decreases and make it more convex.

So, the best treatment option is Using a Concave Lens inorder to diverge the rays falling infront of the retina to make it fall on the retina so that the patient can see the distant object.
