Natural selection is often described as "short-sighted" because it operates on immediate survival and reproductive advantages rather than long-term consequences. Traits that confer short-term benefits may lead to detrimental effects over generations or in changing environments. Additionally, natural selection doesn't anticipate future challenges; it only acts on existing variations that enhance fitness in the current context. Thus, while it can optimize certain traits for survival, it may overlook broader ecological or evolutionary implications.

If you are myopic, you are short-sighted. Myopia is a condition where near objects are seen clearly, but distant objects are blurry.

Generally because people who are short sighted (vision - not in thought) will reproduce just like people who are not short sighted. A trait is only lost from a species if it inhibits the reproductive success of the carrier. But in the humans' social environment, people who are short sighted continue to have offspring who are short sighted as well. In other words, a standard for marriage (and other unions) is not determined by perfect eyesight.The only way for the gene for short sightedness to be eliminated would be for those who are short sighted to be eliminated from the population.
Short and memorably answer. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms. Natural selection is the main driver of adaptive change leading to evolution.
