Question

  1. which of the following is a procedure to correct myopia?

radial keratotomy
cornea transplantation
keratoplasty
laser iridotomy

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Myopia (nearsightedness) occurs when the cornea is too curved or the eye is too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina. Radial keratotomy is a surgical procedure that involves making radial incisions in the cornea to flatten it, which corrects myopia. Cornea transplantation (keratoplasty) treats corneal diseases/injuries, not refractive errors like myopia. Laser iridotomy is for angle-closure glaucoma, not myopia.

Answer:

Radial keratotomy
