What is Myopia? A Basic Definition

Myopia \My*o"pi*a\, n. [NL. See Myope.] (Med.)
  
         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.
  
         [1913 Webster]
