Medical Forum / General / Vision / January 2006Nearsighted but can't see to read
My doctor told me that I'm nearsighted and need glasses to see far away. Other than that, my eyes are fine/normal. However, I need my glasses to read and use the computer. They're not reading or computer glasses, they're for distance. OTC reading glasses don't help me see to read, but my distance glasses do. Why is this? It feels like it has to do with eye strain. When I try to read a book or the computer screen without my glasses, my eyes feel strained. The more I read without my glasses, the worse it seems to get. I always try to wear my glasses but there are times when I don't like to because I'm afraid they'll get broken. > My doctor told me that I'm nearsighted and need glasses to see far > away.

It may have more to do with your computer screen being beyond the "farpoint" of your myopia. It's hard to guess without knowing the actual prescription. Why not post it? -MT I think the best bet is you also have astigmastim which makes things blurry at all distances. You probably have enough accomodation to see clear from near, such as half meter with your distance glasses. My other thinking is you are a high myope and youd have to hold everything very close to your face to see clearly where in the case its actually easier to see with distance glasses. I have presbyopia and I still use distance glasses(slight undercorrection) sometimes for reading, but I do hold reading material at arms length. My myopia is high enough that without glasses I must hold stuff close to my face. Forget even seeing this computer monitor without glasses, this isnt possible unless I reduce my myopia to -2 or less. I sit 2/3 to 1 meter from the monitor depending if I lay back on my swivel chair. Shut the F*@$ up you dickhead. Don't post when you know nothing about the topic. dr grant Sorry but I do know alot about it. I still say its astigmastim because all my nearsighted friends can see great from near without glasses, that is except those with astigmastim. > Sorry but I do know alot about it.

Ace's "circle of friends" come through again to prove his point. Next he may try Lawn Chair U just to experience life outside of his bedroom where is computer is located. He's planning on canvassing the foot traffic in front of his house for his next great conclusion. Who needs equipment and objective testing when Ace knows?  Signature~RT LOL RT. Ace thinks that having spent 10 minutes reading something makes him an expert. This logic would have me as president of the US, China and Russia. Now that would be pretty cool. grant whether or not its easy or not for you to read without your glasses depends on how nearsighted you are. who cares what your opinion is. you are just some kid with an interest in vision but no training or experience. no one can give this poster any help until he provides more information. >Sorry but I do know alot about it.

Dear Ace- "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." Abraham Lincoln SignatureLive simply so that others may simply live > depending if I lay back on my swivel chair. News flash After graduating from Armchair U with an advanced degree in Otisology, Ace is now pursing and another advanced degree in Iknoweverythingbecauseireaditonthewebsowhoneedsarealdegreetoprescribeover theinternet from Swivel Chair U.
