Question
To correct myopia (nearsightedness), what type of lens is typically used?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The document states: 'Similarly, correcting a myopic eye involves using a diverging lens to create a sharp image on the retina.' Myopia causes distant objects to focus in front of the retina, so a diverging lens is needed to spread the light rays before they enter the eye.
Hint
Myopic eyes focus light too strongly, so a lens that spreads light is needed.
