The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Myopic Vision**: Myopic vision, also known as short-sightedness, is a condition where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly. This occurs because the eye's lens focuses images in front of the retina rather than directly on it. 2. **Identifying the Problem**: In myopia, the light rays entering the eye converge too soon, resulting in the image being formed before it reaches the retina. This is a key characteristic of myopic vision. 3. **Corrective Measures**: To correct myopic vision, we need to adjust where the light rays converge so that they focus directly on the retina. This requires a lens that can diverge the incoming light rays. 4. **Choosing the Right Lens**: The appropriate lens for correcting myopia is a concave lens. A concave lens diverges light rays, allowing them to spread out before they enter the eye, which helps to move the focal point back onto the retina. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that short-sightedness or myopic vision is corrected by wearing concave lenses. **Final Answer**: Concave lenses. ---
