the term used to *literally* mean "myopic" (pathology): https://www.sohu.com/a/244529119_100042198
but even the figurate meaning carries over into the English terms "shortsighted" and "myopic", which can all be used figuratively.

some dictionaries (Pleco C-E, KEY C-E, ABC C-E) also list "短视" as N. "myopia", but I did not find evidence that it is still used with this meaning, 近视 is the modern term for that.

短視近利
- 還不至於太短視近利。
- 使得台灣經濟充塞著短視近利,
- 有這樣的體認,必然不會長成自私自利、短視近利的人,他們未來的人生必然OK!
- 民眾、企業是否應該收起一片罵聲,不再短視近利?Is it not time to set aside our myopic pursuit of quick profits?
- 切莫短視近利, Don't just look for short-term profit
