  1. Question 1

    Q1. Which lens is used to correct myopia (short-sightedness)?

    • A) Convex lens
    • B) Concave lens
    • C) Bifocal lens
    • D) Cylindrical lens

    Answer: Concave lens

    Explanation: Myopia (short-sightedness) occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea too curved, causing parallel light rays to focus in front of the retina. A concave (diverging) lens diverges the incoming rays so that they converge correctly on the retina.
