The opposite to myopic/myopia is HYPEROPIC/HYPEROPIA. Myopia is also known as short sightedness or near sightedness. Hyperopia is also known as long sightedness or far sightedness. A myopic eye focuses the image before it reaches the retina at the back of the eye. This is because the eye is too strong. A myopic eye will find it easier to focus on a close up object rather than a far away object. A myopic eye needs to be corrected with a minus/negative powered prescription lens (-). A hyperopic eye focuses the image after/behind the retina as a hyperopic eye is too weak. A hyperopic eye will have problems focusing on close up objects and in some cases it won't be able to focus at any distance. A hyperopic eye will be corrected with a plus/positive powered prescription lens (+).
