A farsighted person can see distant objects clearly, but nearby objects appear blurry. The eyeball is too short, so the image that falls on the retina is out of focus. A convex lens corrects this by bending light rays toward each other before they enter the eye. An image then focuses on the retina.

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.


What uses concave lens?

Concave lenses are commonly used in correcting nearsightedness (myopia) by diverging light rays before they enter the eye, helping to focus images onto the retina. They are also used in devices such as cameras and telescopes to correct aberrations and produce clearer images. Additionally, concave lenses are used in certain types of microscopes to create a larger field of view.
