dim-sighted
Weak of vision
Dim-sighted means having weak or impaired vision, unable to see clearly.
The term is somewhat old-fashioned, now more often replaced by phrases like "poor eyesight" or specific conditions.
It can extend figuratively to mental perception: a dim-sighted view of the situation suggests failing to see what's plainly there.
