A …… lens is used to correct myopia and a ….. lens is used to correct hypermetropia.
A Concave, concave
B Convex, convex
C Convex, concave
D Concave, convex

Correct option is (D) Concave, convex
Myopia means short-sightedness, in this, a person has a clear vision when looking at objects close to them, but distant objects will appear blurred, to correct it easily concave lens is placed in front of a myopic eye, moving the image back to the retina and clarifying the image.
Hypermetropia means long sight in which a person have blurred vision when looking at objects close to them, and clearer vision when looking at objects in the distance. By placing a convex lens in front of a hypermetropic eye, the image is moved forward and focuses correctly on the retina.
