Question

What kind of lens is used in spectacles for short -sighted?

Open in App
Solution

Short-sightedness. Someone with short-sightedness can see near objects clearly, but cannot focus properly on distant objects. This is caused by the eyeball being elongated, so that the distance between the lens and the retina is too great. It can be corrected by placing a concave lens in front of the eye.
