myopia empty field

myopia empty field
A condition occurring at high altitudes, while flying in clouds or at night in which the eyes in the absence of a distant object tend to focus onto a position only a few ft away. The focus of the eyes must be constantly changed by scanning objects on the ground as well as clouds and aircraft at some distance.
