near-sighted
Can't see far
Near-sighted describes vision that sees close objects clearly but distant ones as blurry.
The condition results from the eyeball being too long, so light focuses in front of the retina rather than on it.
Figuratively, near-sighted means lacking foresight or failing to consider long-term consequences: a near-sighted policy that ignored future costs.
Also spelled nearsighted.
