Is it possible to have both short-sightedness and farsightedness at the same time?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor
I wondered whether it is possible to be short and long-sighted at the same time. For example, I wear contact lenses or glasses for short-sightedness. Still, when I do not wear them, I also find that things close to me are also blurred (my entire vision seems to be blurry instead of before when it was just far-off items). Is there something going wrong with my eyes, or is this normal?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query carefully. You mentioned you are having short-sightedness, but you have not said it is a spherical or cylindrical axis. If you have cylinder correction (with the axis mentioned), what you are experiencing is possible, and I am sure your eyes are normal. Do not worry. Check your refractive correction, and if possible, upload it for me to explain it to you in detail. Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
