Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the eye becomes elongated, it causes light to focus incorrectly on the retina, resulting in blurry vision of faraway objects, which is known as nearsightedness. Farsightedness occurs when the eye is too short and causes blurry vision of nearby objects. Astigmatism is a condition related to the shape of the cornea or lens, causing distorted vision at all distances. Accommodation refers to the ability of the eye to adjust its focus between near and far objects.
