Which type of lens is used to correct myopia/hyperopia and astigmatism?

Pl-cylinder
Concave (-)
sph/cylindrical
Prism

The correct answer is: sph/cylindrical

Sph/cylindrical lens is used to correct myopia/hyperopia and astigmatism because it is a combination of spherical and cylindrical lenses which can correct visual impairment caused by both nearsightedness and farsightedness. In contrast, Pl-cylinder and concave lenses only correct myopia, while a prism is used for double vision or eye misalignment, which are not related to myopia/hyperopia or astigmatism. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate answer.
