Answer:

divergent lenses

Step-by-step explanation:

Myopia is a common condition in which the person sees nearby objects clearly, but more distant objects are erased. Myopia exists in varying degrees, affecting in a different way the ability to focus on distant objects. People with severe myopia can clearly see only objects a few inches away, while those with mild myopia can clearly see objects up to several feet away.

For the treatment of myopia, divergent lenses are used, which have corrective aspects on the light rays, so as to allow the distance vision adequately to myopia.

His glasses must contain diverging lenses. This type of lens is thinner in the middle and fatter at the edges. It is used when people have a problem to see at a distance. The problem to see at a distance is called nearsightedness.

I hope my answer can help you.
