When the cornea is curved too much, or if the eye is too long, faraway objects will appear blurry because they are focused in front of the retina. This is called myopia, or nearsightedness. Myopia affects over 25 percent of all adult Americans. (Source: excerpt from Facts About the Cornea and Corneal Disease: NEI)
A refractive error in which rays of light entering the eye parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus in front of the retina, as a result of the eyeball being too long from front to back; also called nearsightedness because the near point is less distant than it is in emmetropia with an equal amplitude of accommodation. - (Source - Diseases Database)
(ophthalmology) eyesight abnormality resulting from the eye's faulty refractive ability; distant objects appear blurred - (Source - WordNet 2.1)
