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 .
What else can I help you with?
Which type of lens concave or convex should a person who is far sighted use?
A far-sighted person should use convex lenses. These lenses help to converge the incoming light rays so that they focus correctly on the retina, correcting the vision for far-sightedness.
When a person is far sided do the need a concave lens or convex lens?
A person who is farsighted needs a converging lens, which is a convex lens, to help focus light properly onto the retina. This type of lens helps to converge incoming light rays so that distant objects can be seen more clearly.
If a person is farsighted do they need concave or convex lenses?
A person who is farsighted would need convex lenses to correct their vision. Convex lenses help to converge light rays, bringing the focus point forward onto the retina, which helps in correcting farsightedness.
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.
What lenses would you use for short sightedness and long sightedness?
For short-sightedness (myopia), concave lenses are used to diverge light before it reaches the eye, helping to focus the image correctly on the retina. For long-sightedness (hyperopia), convex lenses are used to converge light before it reaches the eye, assisting in bringing the image into focus on the retina.

A far-sighted person should use convex lenses. These lenses help to converge the incoming light rays so that they focus correctly on the retina, correcting the vision for far-sightedness.
What kind of lenses would a farsighted person need to correct their vision?
Hyperopic, plus powered, or convex lenses.

A person who is farsighted needs a converging lens, which is a convex lens, to help focus light properly onto the retina. This type of lens helps to converge incoming light rays so that distant objects can be seen more clearly.
How does a convex lens fix eye problems?
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

Does someone who has myopic need concave or convex lenses?
A person with myopia (nearsightedness) needs concave lenses to correct their vision. Concave lenses diverge light before it enters the eye, helping to focus the image correctly on the retina and improve vision for nearsighted individuals.
Why would concave be used for near sighted?
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.
Type of image of convex lens?
a convex lens looks like an oval from the side. it can be used in the glasses of a long sighted person. i really should be doing my homework right now. i have been doing it since 11am and it is now 15.43pm.
What does a negative 5 mean in eyesight?
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.
Are you long sighted if you are myopic?
A myopic person is a near sighted person
