19. Myopia may occur because_______
the eyeball is too short from front to back
the eyeball is elongated from front to back
the muscles that control the lens may lose power as people grow older
Eye muscles got stretched
Correct Answer :
the eyeball is elongated from front to back
Solution
Myopia (nearsightedness) occurs when the eyeball is elongated from front to back, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This results in distant objects appearing blurry, while close objects remain clear. It can also occur due to an overly curved cornea or an excessively powerful lens.
