  B) The thickness of the dense cloud prevents a disk from forming.
  C) The higher gas density forms stars more efficiently, so all the gas is converted into stars before a disk can form.
  D) The force of gravity can pull the material into a more spherical shape.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
