nearsighted
Blurry far away
Nearsighted describes vision that sees nearby objects clearly but distant ones blurrily.
The lens focuses images in front of the retina rather than on it.
I'm too nearsighted to read the road signs without my glasses.
Figuratively, nearsighted means shortsighted—unable to see beyond immediate circumstances: a nearsighted approach to budgeting.
