For the myopic eye, the defect is cured by using:
Concave lens
Cylindrical lens
Toric lens
For myopia, u=−∞ and v=−D, the distance of the far point. By using, 1f=1v−1u,we get f=−D Since f is negative, the lens used is concave.
Myopic eye defect can be corrected by using convex lens.
Given below is a diagram showing a defect of human eye.
Study it and answer the following questions:
(1) Name the defect shown in figure.
(2) Give two possible reasons for this defect of eye in human being.
(3) Name the type of lens used to correct the eye defect.
(4) Draw a labelled diagram to show how the defect is rectified by using the lens.
