Myopia/Hyperopia Difference between myopia and hyperopia

I guess my question is very basic as I do not understand the explanation of Myopia and Hyperopia.

In Myopiamyopia the lens is bending the light too much even in the most relaxed state. Thus the image is produced in front of the retina. This sounds sane. If the object comes closer the lens just adjusts a bit less than a healthilyhealthy eye and Myopia patientthe myopic subject is able to see clearly. Why

Why is the Hyperopiahyperopic eye not able to do that? If the object is far away, could the lens couldnot just bend a bit and there would be perfectmore to elicit normal vision.? So, why is the MyopiaMyopic eye able to adjust its scalingfocus, but the Hyperopia seems to be unable to do that.

Or is my explanation of why Myopia patients can see close objects wrongHyperopic not?
