How Do Corrective Lenses Affect Vision in Myopia?

[jan2905]

Sufferers of myopia, nearsightedness, have difficutly resolving distant objects because the lenses in their eyes are too strong. If a myopic person has a prescription of -5 diopters, what image do her corrective lenses crate for distant objects?

P=1/f

I tried this problem and got an "upright, virtual image about 20cm in front of the eyes." Is this correct?

That's the correct answer. Good job.
