The vast majority of refractive problems in the eye are related to the __________.
A
curvature of the lens
B
curvature of the cornea
C
length of the eyeball
D
strength of the ciliary muscles
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that refractive problems in the eye are related to how light is focused on the retina.
Recognize that the curvature of the cornea and lens, as well as the length of the eyeball, play crucial roles in focusing light.
Consider that the curvature of the cornea and lens can affect how light is bent, but the length of the eyeball determines where the light is focused.
Identify that if the eyeball is too long or too short, it can cause refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness).
Conclude that while the curvature of the cornea and lens are important, the length of the eyeball is the primary factor in most refractive problems.
