Corrective lenses with two different refractive powers located one on top of the other are known as bifocals. Bifocals allow a person with both myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness) to see objects both near and far away (a person with nearsightedness CAN see objects nearby, but has a hard time seeing objects far away).
The main contribution of corrective lenses is to improve vision by correcting refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By adjusting the way light enters the eye, corrective lenses help focus images onto the retina, resulting in clearer vision.
For myopia (nearsightedness), concave lenses are used to correct vision by diverging light before it reaches the eye. For hyperopia (farsightedness), convex lenses are used to converge light to focus correctly on the retina. The prescription for corrective lenses will depend on the individual's specific refractive error.
Eye prescriptions indicate the specific corrective lenses needed to improve vision. They include measurements for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Optometrists determine the correct lenses by conducting a comprehensive eye exam, which includes tests to assess visual acuity and refractive errors. Based on the results, they prescribe lenses that compensate for the specific vision issues identified during the exam.
An auto refractor machine works by measuring how light is bent as it enters the eye, providing an objective measurement of a person's refractive error (e.g., nearsightedness, farsightedness). The machine uses a light source and a sensor to analyze the eye's response to different light patterns, ultimately producing a prescription for corrective lenses.
Eyeglasses with corrective lenses use refraction to focus light correctly onto the retina, allowing for clearer vision. The lenses bend and redirect light to compensate for any refractive errors in the eye, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness. Absorbing or reflecting light would not correct vision problems in the same way that refraction does.

Eye care professionals most commonly correct myopia through the use of corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses. It may also be corrected by refractive surgery, though there are cases of associated side effects. The corrective lenses have a negative optical power.
Non-corrective lenses do not affect the direction of the rays of light. What they do affect is the composition of the light. Non-corrective lenses are filters blocking out some wavelengths of light in order to do not reach the human eye.
For myopia (nearsightedness), concave lenses are used to correct vision by diverging light before it reaches the eye. For hyperopia (farsightedness), convex lenses are used to converge light to focus correctly on the retina. The prescription for corrective lenses will depend on the individual's specific refractive error.
The usual treatment for farsightedness is corrective lenses (spectacles or contact lenses).
Corrective lenses
We use corrective lenses in spectacles. Near sight is corrected with diverging lenses and far sightedness with converging lenses.

Only at extreme G-loads will corrective lenses become a problem. During normal aerobatic maneuvers, it is uncommon for pilots to be subjected to more than about 3 G's. This is usually acceptable is as far as contact lenses or eyeglasses goes. It should be noted that the air force allows fighter pilots to use corrective lenses, although if contacts are to be used, soft-contact lenses are required.
You need to wear corrective lenses.
Patients with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or presbyopia, can wear contact lenses or eyeglasses instead of having refractive surgery to improve their refractive errors.
