What does it mean when someone is nearsighted?

Answer 1

Being diagnosed as being nearsighted means just exactly what it says. You can only focus on things close to you. Distant objects are out of focus. Being farsighted means just exactly the opposite of being nearsighted. Distant objects are in focus, but nearby things appear blurry.

Answer 2

There are two basic kinds of vision problems-- one is called being nearsighted and the other is called being farsighted. If you are nearsighted, your eyesight has an easier time seeing things that are close up, and a difficult time seeing things that are far away. Conversely, if you have a much easier time seeing objects that are farther away, you may be farsighted.

If you find that you can only see things that are near to you, and you have to get closer to see things clearly, you may want to get an eye examination to see if you are nearsighted.

Answer 3

Nearsightedness means that a person is able to see close objects clearly, but far away objects are blurry. It is also known as myopia.

Answer 4

it means that this person can only see things nearby but the objects far away will be very blurry
