Difference between Myopia and Nearsightedness

MYOPIA vs NEARSIGHTEDNESS: NOUN

A disorder of the vision where distant objects appear blurred because the eye focuses their images in front of the retina instead of on it.
Nearsightedness; shortsightedness; a condition of the eye in which the rays from distant object are brought to a focus before they reach the retina, and hence form an indistinct image; while the rays from very near objects are normally converged so as to produce a distinct image. It is corrected by the use of a concave lens.
Short-sightedness; nearsightedness: the opposite of hypermetropia.
Lack of discernment or long-range perspective in thinking or planning.
