Hunter S. Thompson

As far as I'm concerned, it's a damned shame that a field as potentially dynamic and vital as journalism should be overrun with dullards, bums, and hacks, hag-ridden with myopia, apathy, and complacence, and generally stuck in a bog of stagnant mediocrity.

American Journalist

Sterling K. Brown

Don't become too attached to your own myopia. Just because you've found a way to do things doesn't mean it's the way to do things. There are so many different ways in which to navigate this so-called life. Be open to experiencing more than one.

American Actor

John Rhys-Davies

I'm not actually sure that actors or artists should be allowed to have a family, because the focus you need, the egotism, the myopia, is just taking away from the relationship.

Welsh Actor

The danger of a rock band is repeating oneself. It's our greatest fear - that it evolves into the myopia of a semi-successful band that's in love with its own shadow.

American Composer

Physical Condition

Many people have myopia; it's a common reason for wearing glasses or contact lenses.

Common Affliction

Use 'myopia' to describe vision, not to insult someone's intelligence or awareness.

Descriptive, Not Insult

Myopia can be a metaphor for short-term thinking in various contexts, like business or politics.

Metaphorical Usage

Myopia implies a lack of vision, use it to contrast with 'visionary', which implies far-sightedness.

Visionary Contrast

When used metaphorically, 'myopia' critiques someone's planning, not their health.

Critique, Not Condition

 Well, there are a slew of studies chronicling the modern ailments that go along with the separation from the natural world. And there are... physical as well as mental and some of these include spreading epidemic of myopia. If you don't get enough sunlight on your eyeballs

This Is Your Brain on...

What obligation do...

 Myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Each of these is a refractive error. Nowadays we can fix them all with glasses or contact lenses, which work by refocusing light so it strikes the retina precisely.

How do glasses help us...

 everyday the ebb and flow of water and the resulting Transfiguration of human behavior offers an elemental portrait of our collective myopia persistence and for better or worse adaptation thank you
