In a myopic (short-sighted) eye, where is the image of a distant object formed relative to the retina?

1. Myopia arises when the eyeball lengthens or the eye lens converges too strongly. 2. The far point comes closer than infinity, so distant rays converge too early. 3. The image of a distant object therefore forms in front of the retina. 4. A convex-lens defect (hypermetropia) forms images behind the retina, so that is wrong. _Source: Samacheer Kalvi (TN SCERT) Class 10 Science, Unit 2 Optics "Defects in Eye", p.31_
