Concave lens

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Myopia,also known as near-sightedness,is a defect of vision where a person can see nearby objects clearly but cannot see distant objects distinctly.In this condition,the image of a distant object is formed in front of the retina rather than on the retina.To correct this defect,a concave lens (diverging lens) is used in the spectacles.The concave lens diverges the incoming light rays from distant objects,allowing the eye lens to focus the image correctly on the retina.

What kind of lens is used in the spectacles of a person suffering from myopia (near-sightedness)?
