Glossary of Terms

Myopia
Nearsightedness (not able to see things far away). Newborn babies and especially prematurely born infants are usually nearsighted. As they mature their vision improves.
This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
