What would be the effect on refraction and vision if the client did not have a lens in one eye?
A. Light waves would be inadequately refracted and the image would not fall prop-erly on the retina, causing the client to have extremely poor near vision.
B. Light waves would be inadequately refracted, and the image would not fall prop-erly on the retina, causing the client to have extremely poor distant vision.
C. Light waves would be excessively refracted, and the image would fall in front of the retina, causing the client to have extremely poor near vision.
D. Light waves would be excessively refracted, and the image would fall in front of the retina, causing the client to have extremely poor distant vision.
A
The lens increases light wave refraction after the light wave passes through the cornea and aqueous humor, allowing images to fall on the retina. Without a lens, the light waves are not bent enough to converge in the eye. Thus, the person may have some distant vision but would have extremely poor near vision.
