What is another word for myope?
Pronunciation: [mˈa͡ɪə͡ʊp] (IPA) 
Myope, which comes from the Greek word "muôps" meaning closed-eyed, refers to an individual who has nearsightedness or poor eyesight. Some common synonyms for myope include shortsighted, myopic, nearsighted, and presbyopic. In addition, other related terms can be used, such as astigmatic or having astigmatism, which refers to a condition where the cornea is not perfectly round, causing distorted vision at any distance. Hypermetropic or hyperopic individuals, on the other hand, are often referred to as farsighted, and suffer a vision issue where objects appear blurry or unfocused at close range. Regardless of the terminology used, vision issues can be corrected through glasses or contact lenses, or more invasive procedures such as laser eye surgery.
