What term best describes a patient whose eye has too much dioptric power?

  1. Farsightedness
  2. Nearsightedness
  3. Night Blindness
  4. Scotoma
Explanation

Answer: B - A patient whose eye has too much dioptric power is nearsighted.

If a patient’s eye has too many diopters in relation to eye length, light is focused in front of the retina. The farther in front of the retina the light is focused, the more nearsightedness, and the more out of focus an image will be.
