Given,
Far point or the focal length f= -2 m.
Since the corrective lens used is concave, the focal length considered is negative.
It is known that the power of a lens is the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens. Mathematically, 
P=1f
Where f is the focal length of the lens in metres.
On substituting the values, we get the power as:
P=1-2
P= -0.5 D
Hence, the power of the lens required is 0.5 D.
