How does a convex lens correct vision?

A convex lens corrects vision by focusing incoming light rays onto the retina at the back of the eye. This helps to bring objects into clearer focus for individuals who have refractive errors such as nearsightedness or farsightedness. By bending light rays in a way that compensates for the eye's inability to do so, a convex lens helps to create a sharper and more precise image on the retina.
