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. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: myopia n : (ophthalmology) eyesight abnormality resulting from the eye's faulty refractive ability [syn: {nearsightedness}, {shortsightedness}]
