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?
The person is able to see nearby objects clearly, but he is unable to see
objects beyond 1.2 m. This happens because the image of an object beyond 1.2 m
is formed in front of the retina and not at the retina, as shown in the given
figure.
To correct this defect of vision, he must use a concave lens. The concave lens
will bring the image back to the retina as shown in the given figure.
