Due to which vision defect a person is unable to see an object more than 10 meters away. Suffering from?
A person unable to see an object more than 10 meters away is suffering from myopia. Myopia, or nearsightedness, causes distant objects to appear blurry while close objects are clear. This occurs because the eye focuses light in front of the retina instead of on it. Concave lenses correct this defect.

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a vision defect where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly. The correct answer is [C] Myopia. This condition occurs because the eye focuses light in front of the retina rather than directly on it. The eyeball may be too long, or the cornea may have too much curvature, leading to improper focusing of light. As a result, a person with myopia has difficulty seeing objects that are far away, such as those beyond 10 meters. This vision defect can be corrected with concave lenses, which diverge light rays before they enter the eye, allowing the focal point to move back onto the retina for clear vision. Hypermetropia (farsightedness) affects near vision, hydrophobia is a fear of water, and cataracts cause clouding of the eye’s lens, affecting overall vision clarity but not specifically distance vision.
