No, you haven't. Using "myopia" the way you used it is a slight to people who struggle with the medical condition of "myopia."
"Myopia" is the
medical term for near-sightedness. The problem of not seeing things clearly objects at a distance due to the refractive error caused by the shape of the eye. "Myopia" is something you can't outgrow, it's something you have for the rest of your life, and for some people it's something that develops later in life. It's a handicap to have it, definitely not one of the worst handicap to physically deal with. However it's one of those handicaps that people feel free to bully, insult, mock or tease a person who has "myopia." Thinking that way at the age of sixteen didn't cause you to wear glasses and as a result be mocked because of wearing them.
