Q1
Easy
What is myopia commonly known as?
A. Nearsightedness
B. Farsightedness

Which defect of vision is corrected by a convex lens?
A. Myopia
B. Hyperopia
C. Astigmatism
D. Color blindness
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is corrected by using a convex lens, which helps focus images directly on the retina.
Q3
Easy
What is the main cause of astigmatism?
A. Irregular cornea
B. Lens opacity
C. Retinal detachment
D. Ageing
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Astigmatism occurs due to an irregular shape of the cornea, causing blurred vision at all distances.
Q4
Medium
Which defect of vision is characterized by difficulty in seeing distant objects clearly?
A. Myopia
B. Hyperopia
C. Astigmatism
D. Presbyopia
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing distant objects to appear blurry.
Q5
Medium
What type of lens is used to correct myopia?
A. Convex lens
B. Concave lens
C. Bifocal lens
D. Planar lens
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
A concave lens diverges light rays, helping to focus distant objects onto the retina for individuals with myopia.
Q6
Medium
Which defect of vision can be corrected using a cylindrical lens?
A. Myopia
B. Hyperopia
C. Astigmatism
D. Presbyopia
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C
Astigmatism is caused by an irregular shape of the cornea or lens, and cylindrical lenses can correct the varying focal lengths.
Q7
Medium
The condition where the eye loses its ability to focus on nearby objects due to aging is called:
A. Myopia
B. Hyperopia
C. Astigmatism
D. Presbyopia
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: D
Presbyopia is a common age-related condition where the lens loses its flexibility, making it challenging to focus on close objects.
Q8

A. Myopia
B. Hyperopia
C. Astigmatism
D. Presbyopia
Show Answer & Explanation

Hyperopia, or farsightedness, occurs when the eyeball is too short, causing distant objects to be seen clearly, while near objects appear blurry.
Q9
Hard
In myopia, which lens is typically used to correct the vision?
A. Convex lens
B. Concave lens
C. Bifocal lens
D. Trifocal lens
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is corrected using a concave lens, which diverges light rays and allows the person to see distant objects clearly.
Q10
Hard
What is the primary cause of astigmatism?
A. Irregular shape of the cornea
B. Short eyeball
C. Long eyeball
D. Age-related changes
Show Answer & Explanation
