Convex lens
Explanation
Convex lenses are used to correct hyperopia (long sightedness) by converging light rays before they enter the eye, allowing for clear vision of nearby objects.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Lens Function
Students often confuse how spectacle lenses correct myopia and hyperopia, thinking they simply magnify or reduce size rather than changing the refraction of light.
Emphasize that spectacle lenses adjust the path of light entering the eye to ensure it focuses correctly on the retina, rather than just altering the image size.
