A person suffering from a distance of less than 1 meter is suffering from

Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, is a common vision condition where a person can see objects clearly at close range but has difficulty seeing objects that are farther away. The correct answer is [A] Nearsightedness. This is because the eye focuses light rays in front of the retina rather than directly on its surface. Myopia occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea has too much curvature. As a result, individuals with myopia may struggle to see objects beyond a certain distance, such as those more than 1 meter away. This condition can be corrected with the use of concave lenses in eyeglasses or contact lenses, which help to diverge the light rays entering the eye, shifting the focal point back onto the retina. Farsightedness (hyperopia) affects near vision, while a disease of the talus pertains to issues with a bone in the ankle and is unrelated to vision problems.
