Definition of «myopic»

The term myopic refers to being short-sighted or having a short sight. This means that an individual with this condition can see objects clearly only if they are at close range, while distant objects appear blurred. Myopia is caused by the eye being too long or the cornea being curved too much, which prevents light from focusing correctly on the retina.
