Which of the following eye defect occure due to short eye ball or lens becoming flattened resulting in the formation of image beyond retina?

  1. Astigmatism

  2. Myopia

  3. Hypermetropia

  4. Presbyopia


Correct Option: B

When the light rays converge at a point in front of the retina and then divert to form a blurred image on it, the defect is known as

  1. Myopia

  2. Hypermetropia

  3. Astigmatism

  4. Presbiopia


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Myopia occurs when the eyeball is too long, relative to the focusing power of the cornea and lens of the eye. This causes light rays to focus at a point in front of the retina, rather than directly on its surface. Nearsightedness also can be caused by the cornea or lens being too curved for the length of the eyeball.

In old age, lens loses its ability to focus because of loss of elasticity and ability to accomodate called as

  1. Astigmatism

  2. Trachoma

  3. Glaucoma

  4. Presbyopia


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Presbyopia is a condition associated with aging in which the eye exhibits a progressively diminished ability to focus on near objects. Loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens, changes in the lens curvature from continual growth and loss of power of the ciliary muscles may be the cause of presbyopia .

The lens becomes opaque in

  1. Myopia

  2. Hypermetropia

  3. Astigmatism

  4. Cataract


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A cataract is a common eye condition, where the lens becomes progressively opaque, resulting in blurred vision, incapable of transmitting the light rays and is corrected by surgical replacement of lens with the artificial lens. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
