The information I read in Louise Hay’s is this:
Nearsightedness = fear of the future
farsightedness = fear of the present

So I take it to mean that ‘degraded close up sight’ means farsightedness (hyperopia) while ‘far sight problems’ means nearsightedness (myopia).

This is what I found in Wikipedia:

Short sightedness has also been used metaphorically to refer to cognitive thinking and decision making that is narrow sighted or lacking in concern for wider interests or longer-term consequences.[88] It is often used to describe a decision that may be beneficial in the present but detrimental in the future, or a viewpoint that fails to consider anything outside a very narrow and limited range.

Far-sighted behavior refers to over-prioritizing long-term interests at the expense of present enjoyment.

Right now I have trouble figuring out what the various elements of myopia have in common: challenges to ‘being in the moment,’ fear of the future, and narrow thinking that fails to consider long term consequences and anything outside a limited range.

All I can figure out for now is this:
1) I daydream a lot most of the time because I hate seeing or being in the present.
2) I often enjoy envisioning the future (ex. teaching abroad to escape from stifling present life) without considering the realistic consequences of the ‘future vision’ (ex. stress, not-so-ideal working conditions)
3) Once I realize the harsh reality of what I’m about to enter into or have entered into, I back out and quit for good. (But that won’t keep me from daydreaming about it once in a while).
4) I get into something new or a new idea comes up again. Steps 1-3 repeat itself again.

What does that say about me (aside from me being too impatient to stay engaged in anything for long or losing my enthusiasm for anything pretty quickly)?
