Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nearsightedness, or myopia, means that a person can see close objects clearly but has difficulty seeing objects far away. On the Snellen chart, a score like 20/100 indicates that what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet, a nearsighted person can only see clearly at 20 feet, which aligns with the symptoms of nearsightedness.
