Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Myopia, also known as near-sightedness, is caused by the excessive curvature of the eye. It happens when the light from distant objects gets focused before the retina. So distant objects appear blurry while near objects can be seen clearly. It can be corrected using spectacles with a concave lens of suitable focal length.
