Correction of Myopia Diagram

Diagram showing the correction of myopia with the use of a concave lens. Myopia is a defect of the eyes in which the eyeball is too long, or the cornea overly curved. This leads to images being focused in front of the retina, instead of on it. Nearsightedness, or the blurring of objects at a distance, results.
