Why would a doctor suggest converging lenses to correct a patient’s vision?

A converging lens focuses the diverging, or blurred, light rays from a distant object by refracting (bending) the rays twice. ... This double bending causes the rays to converge at a focal point behind the lens so that a sharper image can be seen or photographed.
(Thus making the vision clear)
