myopia
Far things blur
Myopia is nearsightedness—the ability to see things clearly only when close, while distant objects appear blurred.
The word extends naturally to figurative shortsightedness: The company's myopia about digital trends cost them dearly.
Someone with myopia, literal or figurative, is myopic.
