Question: Opposite effect to magnification!. Minification Lens!. Is there such thing!?
Lets say you write something on a normal pair of glasses without any magnification of sort, lenses are just plain glass!. But the writing is too close to the eye for you to see!. Is there a lens that you can put on top of this in order for the writing to appear about 20 -30 cm away from you!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, a negative lens, one with concave surfaces, will act the opposite of a magnifying glass!. Sometimes called a reducing lens!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
