What does it mean if i'm able to use reading glasses even for "distance" ... that is things "far" away are not "blurry," just "bigger"?

Your glasses: Some people have a prescription of + numbers and some have - numbers. If your eyes are far-sighted, your actual prescription may be a + number therefore making your "reading glasses" actually correct your reading and distance vision. This is more common than most people think.
