What does MYOPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
medicaltechnical
A person who is nearsighted, able to see nearby objects clearly while distant objects appear blurred.
A myope suffers from myopia, a common condition in which the eye focuses images slightly in front of the retina instead of directly on it, making far-away objects look blurred. Glasses, contact lenses or corrective surgery can bring a myope's distance vision back into sharp focus by adjusting how light bends before it reaches the eye. The word is used mainly in clinical and optical contexts rather than casual speech, where nearsighted person is the more common phrase. It is built from the same Greek roots that give myopia and myopic.
