Question

List two causes of this defect.

Hint:

Myopia can be caused by an elongated eyeball or an overly curved cornea, both of which prevent light from focusing properly on the retina.

Answer 1

Myopia stems from two primary issues:
1. Eyeball elongation: An overly long eyeball causes light to focus ahead of the retina.
2. Corneal curvature: Excessive curvature of the cornea leads to light rays converging before hitting the retina.
