Answer: Place a concave lens in front of the eye.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, a common way to to correct nearsightedness is to Place a concave lens in front of the eye.

These types of lenses are usually used in eyeglasses that correct nearsightedness.

The problem that nearsighted people have is that the distance between the eye's lens and retina is longer than it should be. It makes impossible to distinguish distant objects.

Placing concave lenses in front of a nearsighted eye reduces the refraction of light and lengthens the focal length so that the image is formed on the retina.
