Why can't i see close things properly when i have my contacts on but not glasses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Presbyopia: There are two possibilities: one is that your contacts are too strong allowing you to see well in the distance but not at close; the other possibility is early presbyopia in which your focusing power is no longer sufficient despite the distance power being correct. See your eye doctor who can work with you to correct this.
