Solution
(a)
Myopic eye
(b) In a myopic eye, rather than at the retina itself, the image of a distant object is created in front of the retina. This flaw may result from (i) an excessively curved eye lens or (ii) an elongated eyeball. With the use of a concave lens of the appropriate power, this flaw can be fixed. The flaw is fixed by returning the picture to the retina with a concave lens of the proper power.
(c)
Correction for myopic
