Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Concave Lens

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: A) Concave Lens šŸ“š Explanation: In a myopic eye, the image of a distant object is formed in front of the retina rather than directly on it. A concave (diverging) lens is used to spread the incoming light rays further apart so that they converge exactly on the retina. Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is corrected using a convex (converging) lens to pull the focus forward.
