No, it would be any refractive disorder except shortsightedness. Shortsightedness, also known as nearsightedness or myopia means you see better up close than in the distance. If your eyes hurt while you are reading, then you could have farsightedness, presbyopia, or moderate to severe astigmatism. The medical name for farsightedness is hyperopia, and presbyopia is the medical name for losing the ability to see up close with age. Astigmatism means that the lens and/or cornea of the eye is out of round and this causes blurriness or distortion at all focal distances.
