What corrective solution is typically suggested for myopia?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common refractive error where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly. The underlying issue is that light entering the eye is focused in front of the retina rather than directly on it, which is usually due to an elongated eyeball or excessive curvature of the cornea.

To correct myopia, concave lenses are used. These lenses are thinner in the center than at the edges and are designed to diverge light rays before they enter the eye. As a result, the light rays are spread out, allowing them to focus further back in the eye, ideally on the retina. This adjustment enables the individual with myopia to see distant objects more clearly.

The other options, while relevant in the context of corrective lenses, are not appropriate for addressing myopia specifically. Convex lenses, for example, are typically employed for hyperopia (farsightedness) as they converge light rays to focus them on the retina. Bifocal lenses combine both convex and concave prescriptions to assist individuals with both near and distance vision issues, but they are not specifically aimed at myopia correction. Aspheric lenses can enhance visual quality and reduce distortion for different prescriptions, but they do not specifically target
