Question

Myopia can be corrected by using which lens?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. In a myopic eye, the image of a distant object is formed in front of the retina and not on the retina itself.
  2. A concave or diverging lens causes light rays to diverge well before they strike the lens of the eye so that the image is formed on the retina.
  3. Hence, a concave or diverging lens is used to correct myopia.

Thus, myopia can be corrected by using a concave lens.
