Solution

Myopia:

  1. Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, arises when the eye loses its capacity to focus on distant objects due to the lenses' short focal length.
  2. Nearby objects are plainly evident to patients with this impairment.
  3. Short-sightedness is treated using a concave lens (myopia).
  4. The concave lens spreads out the light rays so that they come together in sharp focus at the rear of the eye.
