What is the term for the condition in which an image focuses on the back of the retina when accommodation is relaxed and no corrective prescription lenses are needed?

Chalazion
Diabetic Retinopathy
Emmetropia
Hordeolum

The correct answer is: Emmetropia

Emmetropia is a term used to describe the condition where the focal point of an image falls on the back of the retina without the need for corrective lenses. This is considered normal vision. B Diabetic Retinopathy is a condition where high blood sugar levels cause damage to the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision loss. A: Chalazion is a pimple-like bump that appears on the eyelid and is usually caused by a blocked oil gland. D: Hordeolum, also known as a stye, is a bacterial infection of the eyelid. Therefore, these options are all incorrect in the context of the question and do not describe the specific condition being asked for.
