Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
In myopia, the light rays entering the eyes converge too soon and are brought to focus before reaching the retina. Hence the image cannot be formed on the retina. Myopia is one of the major eye defects. Also referred to as nearsightedness, this occurs while the retina's eyeball is elongated. This causes excessive curvature of the cornea. This results in a reduced ability to see distant items clearly.
