Answer

$A. 1.9mm$.

Work Step by Step

We know that $d_i=\frac{d_{\circ}f}{d_{\circ} -f}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d_i=\frac{50\times 3}{50-3}cm$ $\implies d_i=3.19cm$ Thus, the distance between the IOL and the retina should be $3.19cm$ Now $3.19cm-3cm=0.19cm=1.9mm$ We conclude that IOL should be moved $1.9mm$ to change the focus of the eye from an object at infinity to an object at a distance of $50cm$ and the correct answer is $A. 1.9mm$.
