Glasses lens is curved so that it bends the light rays that hit your eyes so you can see images clearly.More precisely glasses correct vision because they allow the eye to focus light in the right spot on the retina, the clear tissue that helps the eye focus.
Have you ever seen in your science text books a picture of an eye? It’s quite a clever thing! It’s got a lens in the front that looks a lot like the glass in your glasses. In front of the lens is your pupil which gets bigger and smaller depending on how dark it is in the room. Behind the lens is the retina which turns the light you see into a picture your brain can understand.
If the lens is the wrong shape, the picture the retina makes isn’t right, so it might look blurry to your brain. An optician can tell how wrong your lens is and make some glasses which help make the picture better.
