Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glasses or contact lenses correct hyperopia (farsightedness), myopia (nearsightedness), and astigmatism by changing the path of light entering the eye, thereby properly focusing the light onto the retina. Option B, magnifying the image, would not correct these refractive errors. Options C and D, making cones or rods more sensitive to light, would not address the underlying issue of the shape of the eye or cornea affecting light refraction.
