Question
A person suffering from nearsightedness (myopia) has a far point nearer than infinity. What type of lens is needed to correct this vision defect?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Page 42 states: 'A diverging lens is needed to correct this.' The diagram on page 44 also illustrates this correction.
Hint
Nearsighted eyes focus light too strongly; the corrective lens needs to spread the light rays out.
