Question

A person with a myopic eye cannot see objects beyond 1.2 m distinctly. What should be the type of the corrective lens used to restore proper vision?

Answer 1

The individual experiences clear vision for near objects but struggles to see objects beyond 1.2 meters. This is due to the image of distant objects being focused in front of, rather than on, the retina, as illustrated in the accompanying figure.

To rectify this visual impairment, a concave lens is required. This lens will redirect the focused image onto the retina, as depicted in the provided figure.
