$\huge\red{\mathbb{♡Answer♡}}$

Myopia (or short-sightedness) is that defect of vision due to which a person cannot see the distant objects clearly (though he can see the nearby objects clearly).

For example

A child having the defect called myopia(or short-sightedness) and sitting on the back benches in the class cannot read the writing onblackboard clearly though he can read his book comfortably. The far point of an eye sufferingfrom myopia is less than infinity.

☯ Defect of eye called myopia (or short-sightedness) is caused :

(i) due to high converging power of eye-lens (because of its short focal length), or

(ii) due to eye-ball being too long.

☯Myopia (short-sightedness or near-sightedness) is corrected by using spectacles containing concave.
