Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jeremy's difficulty in seeing objects at a distance (like the board or projection screen) but not up close (like his textbook) suggests he has myopia, also known as nearsightedness. This condition allows individuals to see objects clearly when they are close but causes distant objects to appear blurry.
