Question
State reasons for Myopia. With the help of ray diagrams, show the:
- image formation by a myopic eye, and
- correction of myopia using an appropriate lens.
Solution
Myopia is a visual impairment in which a person can see all around objects clearly, but finds it difficult to comfortably focus on a single object. This eye is referred to as the myopia eye.
Myopia can be caused by:
- increase in curvature of the lens.
- increase in the length of the eye ball.
(a) A myopic eye's far point is close to that infinite distance. In front of the retina, it creates the separate object image depicted in the figure.
(b) Concave lens has an ability to diverge incoming rays, it is used to correct this defect of vision. The image is allowed to form at the retina by using a concave lens of suitable power as shown in the figure.
