In myopia and hyperopia, the corrective lenses produce images at a distance that the person can see clearly—the far point and near point, respectively The eye produces a real image on the retina by adjusting its focal length and power in a process called accommodation

Nearsightedness, or myopia, is the inability to see distant objects and is corrected with a diverging lens to reduce power Farsightedness, or hyperopia, is the inability to see close objects and is corrected with a converging lens to increase power

myopia — a visual defect in which distant objects appear blurred because their images are focused in front of the retina rather than being focused on the retina. nearsightedness — another term for myopia, a visual defect in which distant objects appear blurred because their images are focused in front of the retina rather than being focused on the retina. near point — the point nearest the eye at which an object is accurately focused on the retina at full accommodation. accommodation — the ability of the eye to adjust its focal length is known as accommodation.
