3. With nearsightedness [myopia], close objects are clear, but distant objects are blurry. The image projected by the lens of the eye forms in front of the retina. The lens of the myopic eye cannot relax sufficiently to avoid over bending [converging] light from distant objects on the retina. What kind of lens is required to correct nearsightedness? Draws rays to show how the eyeglasses corrects myopia (Fig. 26.6). Lens Image Incident Light Myopia Fig. 26.6
