What type of lens is used to correct nearsighted vision?

Using concave lens the short sight problem could be rectified. Near sighted person cannot see the things far away. He can see things only so near to his eyes. The ray coming from the far object would form an image just before retina since the eye ball is elongated horizontally. So to make the image to move backward and fall on the retina, a concave lens is used to diverge the ray and finally the image would fall on the retina. Thus the remedy is possible with concave lens.
