Answer:

Diverging lens

Step-by-step explanation:

A nearsighted person is a person who can not see the objects which are far away at infinity since the image is formed in front of the retina of the faraway objects. Therefore, a diverging lens is prescribed which can diverge the image to form the image at the retina.

Therefore, we need a diverging lens to correct the vision of nearsighted.
