Short-sighted view? (5-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

close-up

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'view?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'short-sighted' is the wordplay.
'short' becomes 'close' (similar in meaning).
'sighted' becomes 'up' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'close'+'up'='CLOSE-UP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for close-up that I've seen before include "Large-scale photo" , "Near photograph" , "Detailed photograph of couples" , "Photograph or film taken at short range" , "Short-range photo" .)
