Vision phrases
Good Morning.
Why are we still using the terms “nearsighted” and “farsighted”? They’re describing an affliction that reduces your vision from normal, but in a positive way. Shouldn’t the term describe what you can’t see?
I can’t see things in the distance, which makes me nearsighted. But I also need reading glasses which makes me also farsighted. Which as I mentioned a second ago I certainly am not.
I’m sure I’m not the first person to point this out. But it was bugging me today.



I think the proper term is "blind as a bat" 😁
