Here is another, 56 years old and a low hyperope. People her age have
vitrually no accomodation so even this small amount of hyperopia blurs
distance vision a fair bit and makes it impossible to see a thing from
near. I should appreciate the fact I am myopic than hyperopic! I do
want less myopia, -1.5 to -2 sounds good

This dude is only 24 but sees 20/200 at +2.5 and got lasik. He cant see
a thing at distance, much less from near! With myopia, things are
perfectly clear from near and intermediate(if not highly myopic)
distance vision is blurred but for closer range, no glasses of any kind
is needed. This is why I am telling all of you that hyperopia really
sucks, you cant see at *any* distance! Very young people with very low
hyperopia can accomodate around it but larger amounts of hyperopia in
the not-so-young will experience blur at any distance, and much more
blur the nearer you get.
