Using the table provided above to construct Lorenz curves representing 1990 and 2011, what do you discover and how is this interpreted?
 
  A) The Lorenz curve for 1990 is further away from the line of equality than the curve for 2011. This means that inequality is decreasing.
  B) The Lorenz curve for 1990 is further away from the line of equality than the curve for 2011. This means that inequality is increasing.
  C) The Lorenz curve for 2011 is further away from the line of equality than the curve for 1990. This means that inequality is increasing.
  D) The Lorenz curve for 2011 is further away from the line of equality than the curve for 1990. This means that inequality is decreasing.

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.
