How Do Contact Lenses Correct Myopia and Alter Near Point Vision?

Click For Summary
Contact lenses for correcting myopia should be concave lenses, which diverge light rays to extend the far point of vision. The focal length of these lenses can be calculated using the formula for myopia correction, which involves the patient's far point. When using corrective lenses, the near point of the patient will improve, allowing for clearer vision at closer distances. The specific near point after lens correction can be determined through calculations based on the lens power. Overall, concave lenses effectively enhance near point vision in myopic individuals.

Homework Statement
The patient is myopic.
Relevant Equations
1/f=1/p+1/q

Thread 'Bernoulli vs real life experiment'

If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
