The ability to see objects at a distance but not things that are close is known as myopia, or nearsightedness. This means that the eye is unable to properly focus on nearby objects, resulting in blurred vision. It can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

You're far-sighted. There is treatment.

Ability to see things clearly near and far away?

The ability to see things clearly near and far away is called visual acuity. This is determined by how well your eyes can focus on objects at different distances. If you have trouble seeing things clearly both up close and at a distance, you may have a refractive error like nearsightedness or farsightedness, which can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses.


What is near-sighted?

Near-sighted means able to see things clearly only when up close, that distant objects are less clear. Another term is "myopia." In the opposite condition, farsightedness (hyperopia), objects are clearer at a distance than they are up close.


What is the property of an optical instrument by virtue of which it can form separate images of two close objects?

The property is known as resolution. Resolution refers to the ability of an optical instrument to produce distinct images of closely spaced objects. Higher resolution allows for finer details to be distinguished in the images.


Is the force exerted by gravity stronger if two objects are close together true of false?

False. The force of gravity is determined by the masses of the objects and the distance between them. It decreases as the distance between the objects increases.


What is the ability of the eye to distinguish two objects that are very close together called?

That ability is called visual acuity. It is a measure of the eye's capability to distinguish fine details and closely spaced objects.


What is the ability to see only objects that are far away?

This ability is known as farsightedness or hyperopia. It is a common refractive error where distant objects are seen more clearly than close objects. Farsightedness can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery.


How has your understanding of objects in space been limited by the tools you can use?

Because there are not only things we cannot see but there is in infinite amount of objects in space we can not get to or physically explore (even with robots). The fact is, that these objects are to far away thus hindering our ability to completely understand them or where things in space came from. So yes a telescope, space shuttle and rovers can allow us to explore things that our relatively close but we have nothing that enables us to explore the universe and understand in precisely.


What is the ability to distinguish between two nearby objects?

Resolving power.


Is being able to see close by short eyesight or long eyesight?

Neither. Being unable to see objects far away is being nearsighted (US English) or shortsighted (British English); you can see things a short distance away. Being unable to see things that are close to you is being farsighted or longsighted. Most people as they age develop the inability to see things close to them and require 'reading glasses' to magnify close items.


Why does my vision seem clear up close but blurry in the distance?

When you look at things up close, your eyes adjust by changing the shape of the lens to focus. However, when looking at things far away, the lens may not adjust properly, causing blurriness. This is known as nearsightedness, or myopia, where distant objects appear blurry.
