Nearsightedness is also called myopia. A person who is nearsighted can see objects that are near, but objects that are more distant appear out of focus. There are different degrees of nearsightedness. The degree of nearsightedness determines how distant an object must be in order to become out of focus. An optometrist can determine how much correction is needed during an eye examination.
