A myopic eye can be corrected by:
ANo lens
BConvex lens of suitable power
CCylindrical lens
DConcave lens of suitable power
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Concave lens of suitable power
1. In myopia distant rays focus before the retina.
2. A concave (diverging) lens spreads rays apart slightly before they enter.
3. The eye then focuses these less convergent rays onto the retina.
4. The required power is negative.
5. So a concave lens of suitable focal length corrects myopia.
