Retitling article

Latest comment: 12 days ago3 comments2 people in discussion

The title here ought to be Hyperopia, in keeping with that of the WP article Myopia, which lists alternative, common names only secondarily. Any objections? Mucketymuck (talk) 17:47, 17 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

well, WP COMMON NAME, comes to mind--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 19:34, 17 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

If that be so, then, again, the Myopia article ought to be retitled "Nearsightedness," for we must be consistent. This is an encylopedia, after all, not a chance collection of impressionistic perspectives. Anyone else have any input? Mucketymuck (talk) 05:16, 29 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
