A concave lens is thinner at the centre. People who are short sighted often use a concave lens to help them see better.
Short sighted people are not helped by lenses or anything else. Except the consequences of their short sightedness. I think you mean near sighted people. The eye is a lens and focal point system. The focal length of the eye can be manipulated by flexing muscles in the eye socket to change the distance between the lens and the back of the eyeball. A near sighted, or even a far sighted, person has an eyeball that is too long or too short for the lens, and therefore the image produced by the eye's lens is focused either in front of or behind the back of the eye. A lens, either in a pair of glasses or a contact lens, can assist the eye by effectively pre-focusing the image that enters the lens of the eye to a sharpness that can be accommodated by the focal length of the malformed eyeball, focusing the image sharply on the back of the eyeball. - wjs1632 -
Glasses for short sighted people.
convex lenses are for short sighted people.
convex lenses are for short sighted people.
The person is moderately myopic (short sighted or near sighted). The person can see things that are closer clearly but things that are far will be out of focus. The eye is bulged and the image forms in front of the retina and a concave lens with -5 power will help in forming a clearer image on the retina.
Short Contact Lencesnear sight is hyopia
Image formed by a concave lens or a diverging lens is virtual,upright and smaller than the object.It is used by short sighted people.
A convex or converging lens can fix eyes with long sighted vision. A person who is long sighted cannot focus on near objects which can be corrected by wearing a convex lens.ÊÊ
Farsighted people use convex lenses to correct their vision.(This is the correct answer!)
It depends on what the vision 'problem' is. Convex lenses are used to correct short-sighted errors, while concave lenses correct long-sighted problems.
When a person is near or far sighted, the focal point of the light entering the eye does fall either short of or behind the retina. This is due to improper alignment ot the lens at the front of the eye. Corrective lenses correct this by changing the focal length of the light within the eye.
