Near sightedness or myopia is a refractive defect of the eye lens in which the image is formed in front of the retina not on it. people with this defect can see closer objects clearly while distant ones are blurred..it may be due to excessive curvature of the eye ball
Farsightedness or hypermetropia or hyperopia is a defect of vision in which closer objects appear to be blurred.it is because the eyeball is too short or the lens has incorrect curvature or the cornea is flat.
If your far sited its easier for you to see things more clearly at a distance, if your short sighted its more clear when your closer to the object
