Solution

Near-sightedness, also known as short-sightedness and myopia, is a condition of the eye where light focuses in front of, instead of on, the retina. This causes distant objects to be blurry while close objects appear normal.

Correction of myopia:

A diverging lens can be used to fix the problem of nearsightedness. As mentioned above, the image was blurry as the light rays were not diverging at the right point and creating a focused image. The rays get focused before it reaches the retina. The convergence of the light rays takes place due to the cornea producing an image on the retina

Nearsightedness


(a) No, people with normal vision and myopic eyes view things differently because for both final image formed at retina but in case of myopia, first image is formed by concave lens.

(b) Dut to use of concave lens rays are diverged by the lens and virtual image is formed by it which appear closer than actual distance of the object.
