near sight

Blurry distance viewing

Near sight is the condition of seeing nearby objects clearly while distant ones appear blurred—also called nearsightedness or myopia.

The eyes focus light in front of the retina rather than on it.

My near sight means I need glasses for driving but not for reading.
