What is the term for someone who is able to see close objects but unable to see distant objects?

The term for someone who is able to see close objects but unable to see distant objects is "nearsighted" or "myopic."


Is it true that people who are shortsighted can see objects up close better than people who have normal vision not far- or shortsighted?

Yes, we can see things much closer (depending on level of short-sightedness). I have found it to be to my advantage when painting details on small models, I can bring the model right up close to my eye and see it clearly when I flick up my glasses, and see it comfortably. If I am wearing glasses (or contact lenses), I cannot focus on the object so close, and it becomes uncomfortable. There is a scientific explanation for this that I once read, to do with the shape of the myopic eye.


What is a short sighted person called?

Myopic, or nearsighted. Myope, (Myopic is the condition not the person)


What vision problem do you experience when you cannot see close up?

The vision problem experienced when you cannot see close up is called presbyopia.


What is the meaning of being near sighted?

Being nearsighted, or myopia, means that a person can see objects clearly up close but has difficulty seeing objects in the distance. This occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to be focused in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Nearsightedness can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

What kinda people can see objects that are close more clearly than objects that are far away?

People who are nearsighted have difficulty seeing objects that are far away clearly, but can see objects that are close more clearly. This is typically due to the shape of their eyeball or the focusing power of their eye's lens. Nearsightedness can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.


Myopia is a condition of?

It is when one cannot see far away objects clearly.


A nearsighted person cannot see distant objects clearly without restive lenses. Yet, such a person can see distant objects clearlythrough a pinhole. Explain how this is possible?

It isn't possible


What is far sighted?

Far-sighted can mean: 1) able to plan ahead 2) a vision disorder in which you can't see up close. A definition is "unable to see things clearly, especially if they are relatively close to the eyes, owing to the focusing of rays of light by the eye at a point behind the retina. The adjective is hyperopic. The opposite, near-sighted (nearsighted) means that you cannot see distant objects clearly.


What is the difference between transparent and opaque?

Transparent materials allow light to pass through them easily, and objects behind them can be seen clearly. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them, so objects behind them cannot be seen. Translucent materials allow some light to pass through, but objects behind them are not clearly visible.

What is a person called who can see distant objects clearly but for whom nearby objects appear blurry?

A person who can see distant objects clearly but has blurry vision for nearby objects is experiencing nearsightedness, also known as myopia. This is a common refractive error in which the eye focuses light in front of the retina instead of on it, causing close-up objects to appear blurry.


Who can see nearby objects clearly?

people who are nearsighted


When the eye becomes elongated people see near objects well but see far objects poorly. This is what is called?

This condition is called myopia. It results in the inability to see distant objects clearly while being able to see nearby objects clearly.


What are the differences in vision between a myopic eye and a normal eye?

A myopic eye, also known as nearsightedness, can see nearby objects clearly but struggles to see distant objects clearly. In contrast, a normal eye can see both nearby and distant objects clearly without any difficulty.


Can transparent objects let you see clearly through them?

Yes, transparent objects allow light to pass through them without scattering. This property enables you to see clearly through them because the light rays are not significantly dispersed or absorbed. Examples of transparent objects include glass and clear plastic.


What is near-sighted?

Near-sighted means able to see things clearly only when up close, that distant objects are less clear. Another term is "myopia." In the opposite condition, farsightedness (hyperopia), objects are clearer at a distance than they are up close.
