Answer Details
The function of the convex lens in correcting eye defects is to converge light rays from far objects to focus their image on the retina. In people with myopia (short-sightedness), the image is focused in front of the retina, resulting in a blurred image. Placing a convex lens in front of the eye causes light rays to converge more, allowing the image to be focused on the retina. This corrects the vision so that distant objects appear clear.
