What is "nearsighted but not myopic"?[edit]

Myopic is a technical term for near/short-sightedness, so how does the 2nd to last sentence of 'In cats' section make sense? I haven't edited that sentence as I am not versed in vet medicine/zoology. 188.30.115.7 (talk) 22:17, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
