Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nearsightedness, or myopia, is a condition where distant objects appear blurry because the eye focuses images in front of the retina. Diverging lenses are used in glasses for nearsighted people to correct this by spreading out light rays before they enter the eye, allowing the image to be focused on the retina and making distant objects appear clearer.
