Myopia can be corrected by a diverging lens.

Correction of myopia is given in the following diagram:

(a) In a myopic eye, image of distant object is formed in front of the retina (and not on the retina)

(b) The far point (F) of a myopic eye is less than infinity.
(c) Correction of myopia. The concave lens placed in front of the eye forms a virtual image of distant object at far point (F) of the myopic eye.
