Yes, that's called nearsightedness, and it sounds like you've developed some astigmatism as well. I can't read the big E, and can read without my glasses. The correction for distant vision makes everything smaller, hence even without the astigmatism correction, I see the smallest things better

I tried "lineless" bifocals when it became that time, and could not get used to them. I had little issue with the traditional bifocals, and now trifocals. I also had trouble working on things up close, and the optometrist made a set of what he called "computer glasses" that are bifocals but with

Yep. Be very careful too of walking, climbing stairs, uneven terrain as I find I have little peripheral vision to the lower quadrant. I’m always tripping over stuff as I’m not registering depth too well. I think that contributed to me breaking my leg, I did not have a good sense of the ground
