The term "near sighted" refers to the medical condition known as myopia that causes difficulties in seeing objects from a distance. Some synonyms for "more near sighted" include nearsightedness, short-sightedness, and myopic. These words can be used interchangeably to describe individuals who have blurry vision when looking at objects in the distance. Other related terms that are used to describe visual impairments include hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (irregular curvature of the cornea), and presbyopia (age-related vision loss). People suffering from nearsightedness can use corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses, to improve their vision.
