Which among the following is the correct answer?

Nearsightedness is also referred to as ________________.

Nearsightedness is another name for myopia. Myopia allows a person to see adjacent items clearly but not distant objects.
A person with this flaw has a distant point that is closer to infinity. Such a person can see clearly up to a few metres away.
The picture of a distant object is created in front of the retina rather than at the retina itself in a myopic eye.
This flaw might be caused by:
         Eye lens curvature that is excessive
         The lengthening of the eyeball
This flaw can be remedied by employing a concave lens of appropriate power.
