Question:

Which lens is used in the correction of near sightedness?

Options:

Concave lens

Planoconvex lens

Planoconcave lens

Concave lens

Correct Answer:

Concave lens

Explanation:

Myopia is also known as near-sightedness. A person with myopia can see nearby objects clearly but cannot see distant objects distinctly.

This defect may arise due to

(i) excessive curvature of the eye lens, or

(ii) elongation of the eyeball.

This defect can be corrected by using a concave lens of suitable power.
