Diverging Lens are use (reading glasses) to help correct the problem of myopia helping fix the focus which causes items far away to seem fuzy and blurry.
a convex lens
Concave lens
Nope, a negative meniscus lens corrects myopia. Positive meniscus corrects hyperopia.
It would be concave lens. This is because it diverges the light before it enters the eye.
The defect the person suffers from is myopia. 1/f=1/u+1/v 1/f=1/-85-1/infinity f=-85 cm =-0.85 m The power of the lens=1/f =1/-0.85 =-1.176 D Concave lens have negative focal length and are used for myopia. Thus the the lens that should be used to correct this defect is a concave lens of -1.176 D.

myopia
by use of a diverging lens
A concave lens is a lens that possesses at least one surface that curves inwards. It is a diverging lens, meaning that it spreads out light rays that have been refracted through it. A concave lens is thinner at its centre than at its edges, and is used to correct short-sightedness (myopia). The writings of Pliny the Elder (23-79) makes mention of what is arguably the earliest use of a corrective lens. According to Pliny, Emperor Nero was said to watch gladiatorial games using an emerald, presumably concave shaped to correct for myopia.

It is impossible to keep from developing myopia (near sight). It is easy to correct with glasses, contacts, LASIK, PRK, or lens replacement. Myopia usually starts to develope in early childhood and almost always increases as the child continues to grow. You would have to stop the growth process to stop the increase in myopia.
may include refractive myopia (the cornea and lens-bending properties are too strong) and axial myopia (the eyeball is too long)
This question refers to the sales and advertising for the treatment of myopia. Myopia treatment are nationally marketed by the trademarks of Lasik vision correction and INTACS lens inserts.
it is possible for a person to have both myopia and hypermetropia(hyperopia).The defect can be corrected by using bifocal lens.
