Low vision is vision loss or impaired vision that cannot be corrected with traditional glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. It is not the same as total blindness, since people with low vision can still use their remaining sight.
Myopia is another word for being near-sighted, and also refers to having a longer-than-average length of the eye. People who are near-sighted see an object more clearly as it is brought nearer to them — objects near the viewer are clearer, and objects further away are blurred. Myopia can be classified based on its severity (i.e. low vs. high myopia). Low myopia refers to anyone who sees most clearly from 6.5 feet out or closer. In contrast, high myopia generally constitutes those who can only see clearly from around 4 inches or closer.
