What is the term for a person who nearsighted?

The term for a person who is nearsighted is "myopic." Myopia, also known as nearsightedness or shortsightedness, is a common eye condition where distant objects appear blurry while close objects appear clear. It occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea (the clear, front part of the eye) is too curved, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye) instead of directly on it. This results in blurred vision for distant objects.
