What does concave lens do?

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.

What must you do to keep our eyes free from myopia?

It is impossible to keep from developing myopia (near sight). It is easy to correct with glasses, contacts, LASIK, PRK, or lens replacement.
