Among the defects of eye the shortsightedness is called (a)coma (b)hypermetropia (c)myopia (d)astigmatism
Option C) Myopia is also known as near-sightedness or short-sightedness. What happens here is that light rays do not focus on the surface of the retina but in front of it. This results in images being blurry when perceived. In such a case, distant images appear out of focus but objects nearby are seen clearly. This is why myopia is also called near or short-sightedness.
