Will Daunt has written: 'Distant close'
== No, a first cousin twice removed is a fairly close relative from a genetics perspective. The grandchild of your first cousin would be this relative. == Whether any particular cousin is a distant relative or a near relation is mostly a matter of how you and your family choose to define the terms. Some families have no knowledge of the grand children of their cousins and consider them distant relatives. Some families see them every day and consider them close relations.
The term for someone who is able to see close objects but unable to see distant objects is "nearsighted" or "myopic."
Lenses, such as in binoculars or telescopes, are used to make distant things appear near by focusing and magnifying the light from those objects onto our eyes. This allows us to see distant objects with greater clarity and detail.
The ciliary muscles are responsible for changing the shape of the lens in the eye so that you can focus on near or distant objects. When these muscles contract, they thicken the lens for near vision, and when they relax, the lens becomes thinner for distant vision.
