A member asked:
What type of eyeglasses does a nearsighted person wear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Personal choice: Near sighted correction requires minus (-) lenses in the eyeglasses. The frames and style are personal, but if you look at the image on a near sighted glass, the image depicted is smeared out, instead of focused like a farsighted person.
