Later a biology teacher noticed that, David was copying notes from the neighbor, he told the teacher that he wanted to sit in front because he could not see words clearly on the chalkboard as they were blurred. On shifting him to the front seat, David could see clearly and copy work from the chalkboard. What condition, explain the cause of the condition mentioned and how David's condition can be corrected (use diagram to illustrate your answer)

Answer 1

From what is described, the eye condition that David is having is called Myopia

What is the situation with Davids eyesight

David, a fourth-grade student, arrived late for the term and had to sit at the back of the class, where he struggled to see the chalkboard clearly. His behavior of copying notes from his neighbor drew the attention of his biology teacher.

When David explained that he couldn't see the words clearly because they appeared blurred, the teacher shifted him to the front row. Once seated at the front, David's vision improved, allowing him to see the chalkboard clearly and copy the work.

This scenario suggests that David likely suffers from myopia, a condition causing nearsightedness, where distant objects appear blurry due to the eye's improper focus. Myopia can typically be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
