If your eye looks like it has been flattened a bit the image from the lens will focus in front of the retina but the problem can be corrected with a concave lens What problem is this?

What lens used to correct nearsightedness?
Convex lenses are thicker in the middle then the edges and concave are thicker at the edges then the middle. When light travels through lenses, refraction occurs. The light bends either outward or inward, it depends on the lens.The lens of your eye is a double convex lens. Its job is to focus the image on the retina of the eye. If one is farsighted, the lens in the eye causes the focus to be behind the retina. These people see far but have some difficultly seeing close-up.To correct this farsightedness, the person would wear glasses or contacts with convex lenses, for It is often used for close examination of small objects.
How can a concave lens be used?
In glasses to further the focal length so it is able to be focused at the retina.
Should a farsighted person use a concave or convex?
You must use convex lenses because in farsighted person the image is formed at the back of retina so it must be move forward to make it exactly in the retina so convex converges so it will be forwarded.
How does a concave lens correct nearsightedness?
The eye lens may become too thick & its focal length is reduced. the ciliary muscles are not able to relax sufficiently to make the eye lens thin when viewing distant objects. So, they are unable to increase the focal length of the lens & the image is formed before retina. Since short sightedness occurs due to excessive convergence of light rays by the eye lens, it can be corrected by using a diverging lens, i.e, a concave lens. A properly chosen focal length of a concave lens compensates the extra convergence of the eye lens thus, removing the defect. The scientific name of short sightedness is myopia.
Should a short sighted person use a concave or convex lens?
This is a lens which is designed to help someone who has problems seeing at distance (myope), the light rays going into your eye are not hitting the fovea (the part of the eye located on the retina which allow you to see clearly) in the proper place, these rays are falling in front of the fovea, so by using a concave ( a minus lens) lens, this moves these light rays by diverging them and moving them back to the fovea which allows for clear vision at distance. At least this is how a concave lens is used optically speaking.this is from winter006: concave mirrors are used in stores and gas stations to see a wider area of the store.It's also called , a Diverging Lens .It is thinnest in the centre and spreads light out , so it gives a diminished image .
If Jane is myopic. Will she need concave or convex lenses explain?
Concave. With myopia, the focal point of the eye is in front of the retina. Concave lenses increase the distance of the focal point so that it lies on the surface of the retina.

What does a concave lens move?
A concave lens moves a farsighted persons image of something close onto the retina. It is curved inwards, like the inside of a cave.
How can a concave lens be used?

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.
How do concave lenses and convex lenses help improve vision?
If you are farsighted, meaning that you can see far but you can't see objects close up, that means your eye is too short in terms of the distance of your retina to your lens. The image focuses behind the retina, so it becomes blurry. When you add a convex lens, it will help bend the light more and converge the light rays onto the retina, so you will see the image clearly. If you are nearsighted, your retina is farther away from your lens, so the image is focusing in front of your retina, so you can't see distant objects. That's when you need a concave lens. Concave lens will diverge the light rays onto the retina.
Poor vision results when the image formed by the lens of the eye is in sharpest focus in front of or behind the retina of the eye This can be corrected by?
A common way of correcting this problem is the use of corrective lenses in glasses or contact lenses
Is concave lens is used to cure short sightedness?
converging property of concave lens. In myopia or short sight, light rays come to a focus in front of retina . Concave lens diverges light rays before they fall on the cornea; then they are converged by cornea and then by human lens to come to a focus on the retina. Now the image is seen clearly which was blurred / out of focus when seen without glasses.
What is the difference between nearsighted and farsighted?
Nearsightedness known as myopia is when images at a distance are blurred because the image is focused in front of the retina. this cause by the eye being to long. IT can be corrected by concave lens of a suitable focal length.Farsightedness known as hyperopia is when images that are near (such as when your reading) are blurred because then image is focused behind the retina. this is caused by the eye being to short or the cornea is to flat.It is corrected by a convex lens of a suitable focal length.
Which are a characteristic of the lens?
A glass lens can be concave or convex. This shape is what gives glass the properties of a lens by bending the light.
What is the difference between concave and convex lenses in improving eyesight?
A concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness (myopia), where the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing distant objects to appear blurry. It helps to diverge the light entering the eye, allowing it to focus properly on the retina. On the other hand, a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness (hyperopia), where the eyeball is too short or the cornea is too flat, causing nearby objects to appear blurry. It helps to converge the light entering the eye, allowing it to focus properly on the retina.
Should a farsighted person use a concave or convex?
You must use convex lenses because in farsighted person the image is formed at the back of retina so it must be move forward to make it exactly in the retina so convex converges so it will be forwarded.
