Solution

  • Myopia is also known as near-sightedness or short- sightedness.
  • It is the condition of the eye where light focuses in front of the retina, instead of on the retina.
  • This causes far objects to be blurry while close objects appear normal.
  • A concave lens (minus powered) is used for correcting a myopic eye.
  • This helps to move the image back to the retina and helps to clarify the image.
