I have very bad eyesight too. May I ask what is your correction? (Not sure it’s the proper word in English, but the thing measured in dioptres?)

  Not him, but myopia is the correct medical term. It only has one meaning, whereas "short-sighted" has a widely used metaphorical meaning that it is easily confused with.

    ‘Myopic’ is certainly used to describe short-term thinking or a restricted viewpoint

    From very start of the article: "Leaders | What to do about myopia". However 'myopic' is certainly used metaphorically. This is one of those cases where you just have to read the article.
