'''Myopia''', or '''near-sightedness''' is when someone can only see close up objects, and objects further away become [[blurry]]. Someone who has myopia is called a '''myope'''. Myopia occurs because the visual system has too much refractive power, causing an image at infinity to focus in front of the [[retina]].
'''Near-sightedness''', '''Short-sightedness''', or technically '''Myopia''' is an eye condition where distant objects appear blurry while close objects appear clear, this occurs because the visual system has too much refractive power, causing an image at infinity to focus in front of the [[retina]]. Someone who has myopia is called a '''myope'''.
