Concave lenses are crucial for individuals who are nearsighted, as they help improve vision by bending light rays outward. This adjustment allows the focused image to reach the back of the eye rather than in front of it. Understanding the mechanics of how concave lenses work can clarify their importance in vision correction for those struggling to see distant objects clearly. When using these lenses, light rays are redirected effectively, enhancing visual clarity and comfort for nearsighted individuals.
