What vision defect occurs because the eye is too long?
astigmatism
hyperopia
blindness
myopia
In myopia, the eye is too long. Below, you can see how images are focused on the retina of someone with myopia ( Figure below ). Myopia is corrected with a concave lens, which curves inward like the inside of a bowl. The lens changes the focus, so images fall on the retina as they should.
