Answer: Glass shaped into lens can bend light that passes through it

  • A healthy eye focuses light directly on the retina
  • When a person's eyesight becomes poor the eye focuses light behind or in front of the retina
  • 2 Conditions

- Hyperopia (far-sightedness) : When the eye focuses light behind of the retina.

- Myopia (near-sightedness): When the eye focuses light in front of the eye.

  • A lens can be created to help correct such issues
  • Lenses will correct bend in light back directly onto the retina
