When you said the prices are "keener" I am assuming that means cheaper. Is that right?

I came across another word which is different here than in England. We say near-sighted when we mean we can't see well for distance, but apparently you say close-sighted. Did the dictionary get that one right?

Near sighted or short sighted to us means that we can see close up but not at a distance.

If we are long sighted that means we can see distance but not close up clearly.

Yes keener does mean cheaper or more competitive
