Why does wearing my nearsighted glasses make my eye blurry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check glasses: Your prescription may be off, have it checked. If you're over 40, then wearing single-vision distance correcting glasses may make near vision blurry. This is due to age related presbyopia. Taking the glasses off may allow you to see the small print. The other option is a bifocal.
