They're short-sighted.
Yes, the term "Myopia" means short sightedness. This means that light entering the eye is focused in front of the retina rather than on it.
The opposite term is "Hyperopia" which means long sightedness. This means the light entering the eye is focused behind the retina rather than on it.

Can two short sighted people have a long sighted baby?
Yes. Short sightedness (myopia) is an acquired characteristic. The baby may or may not have myopia when he is born, and may acquire long/short sightedness based on lifestyle. If two people lose their arms in an accident, their child won't be born handless. Similar logic applies.
What kind of lenses would a farsighted person need to correct their vision?
Hyperopic, plus powered, or convex lenses.
How do you become short sighted?
Being short-sighted, or myopic, is typically caused by the shape of the eyeball being too long or the curvature of the cornea being too steep. This causes light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it, resulting in blurry distance vision. Myopia can also be influenced by genetics, excessive near work, and certain environmental factors.
What is different about your vision when you have myopia?
the affect is that the length of the eye is too long and that causes it to affect the way you can see

An eye that is too short typically results in a condition called Hyperopia, or far-sighted. If the eye is too long, it's called myopia, or near-sighted.

Opaque, blurry, foggy, etc... Or if you're referring to eyesight, short-sighted, astigmatism, long-sighted, and so on.
How do glasses help short sighted people?
Short sighted people are not helped by lenses or anything else. Except the consequences of their short sightedness. I think you mean near sighted people. The eye is a lens and focal point system. The focal length of the eye can be manipulated by flexing muscles in the eye socket to change the distance between the lens and the back of the eyeball. A near sighted, or even a far sighted, person has an eyeball that is too long or too short for the lens, and therefore the image produced by the eye's lens is focused either in front of or behind the back of the eye. A lens, either in a pair of glasses or a contact lens, can assist the eye by effectively pre-focusing the image that enters the lens of the eye to a sharpness that can be accommodated by the focal length of the malformed eyeball, focusing the image sharply on the back of the eyeball. - wjs1632 -
