Solution
- Myopia or near-sightedness. Individuals suffering from this illness have difficulty seeing distant objects clearly, resulting in fuzzy vision for faraway objects while keeping crisp focus on close ones.
- The image is formed in front of the retina. This issue arises when the eye's power is excessive, which is typically a result of the crystalline lens's shorter focal length.
- A concave lens. A concave lens, which diverges incoming rays and focuses them on the retina, is widely used to rectify this issue.
