It isn't possible
What lens could correct the image formed of a nearsighted person?

How would you describe a nearsighted person's eye?
A nearsighted person's eye is typically longer than average or has a cornea that is too steep. This causes light entering the eye to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it, resulting in blurry distance vision. Nearsightedness can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

What does it mean when someone is nearsighted?
Being diagnosed as being nearsighted means just exactly what it says. You can only focus on things close to you. Distant objects are out of focus. Being farsighted means just exactly the opposite of being nearsighted. Distant objects are in focus, but nearby things appear blurry.

Why is bifocal eyewear good?
The purpose of bifocals is to allow an individual to focus both near and far. Generally, an eyeglass prescription will be written for those nearsighted or farsighted. If you are nearsighted, the lens in the eye causes the focus to be in front of the retina and the person struggles to see far away because the lens is too long. To correct it, you would be given concave lenses in your eyeglasses. For farsightedness, you are prescribed convex lenses to correct the eye's short lens that causes the focus to be behind the retina and you struggle to see objects up close. Bifocals combines both types of lenses with the convex melded into the concave, allowing the individual to switch from a reading stance to viewing out.
