Answer:

so that it can diverge the light to make sure that it focused on the ratina and the image is formed.

Step-by-step explanation:

nearsightedness is when the light is focused in front of the ratina and for an image to be formed in the eye, the light must be focused on the ratina so to correct that we use the diverging lenses so that it will diverge the light and allow the cornea and the lens to converge it so it is focused on the ratina.
