A member asked:
Am i nearsighted or farsighted if have trouble reading street signs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be either: You are asking if distance is blurred, can you make this distinction. Nearsighteds will have trouble at distance but usually can see well at near. Farsighteds if strongly farsighted will have trouble at distance and sometimes at near. Your ophthalmologist can tell you which side of this fence you fall onto.
