I suffer from near-sightedness which means I need a menu the size of a billboard! lol
Me too, close objects are normal but ones in the distance are blurry.
Actually, I said that incorrectly. lol I suffer from far-sightedness. Near-sightedness is just the opposite where objects in the distance appear blurry!
They both can cause eye strain and give us headaches.
I completely agree! I think far-sightedness would be a more difficult issue though with things like driving, etc.
I correct my near-sightedness with contacts and glasses. There are also surgical options for correction.
I started wearing reading glasses about 10 years ago as my arms kept getting shorter and shorter! lol  I tried on my first pair of glasses and was like WOW I can see again! lol
I like contacts for the wide field of vision. I also worked outside and would sweat on my glasses lol.
I can see like a beagle except when reading or looking at anything upclose. I hope it stays that way!
If you were like my beagles you can smell well, they were scent hounds.
