I suffer from near-sightedness which means I need a menu the size of a billboard! lol
Me too, close objects are normal but ones in the distance are blurry.
Actually, I said that incorrectly. lol I suffer from far-sightedness. Near-sightedness is just the opposite where objects in the distance appear blurry!
They both can cause eye strain and give us headaches.
I completely agree! I think far-sightedness would be a more difficult issue though with things like driving, etc.
I correct my near-sightedness with contacts and glasses. There are also surgical options for correction.
I started wearing reading glasses about 10 years ago as my arms kept getting shorter and shorter! lol  I tried on my first pair of glasses and was like WOW I can see again! lol
I like contacts for the wide field of vision. I also worked outside and would sweat on my glasses lol.
I can see like a beagle except when reading or looking at anything upclose. I hope it stays that way!
Beagle
The beagle is a breed of small hound that is similar in appearance to the much larger foxhound. The beagle is a scent hound, developed primarily for hunting hare (beagling). With a great sense of smell and superior tracking instinct, the beagle is employed as detection dog for prohibited agricultural imports and foodstuffs in quarantine around the world. The beagle is intelligent but single-minded. It is a popular pet due to its size, good temper, and lack of inherited health problems.

Refractive error
Refractive error, also known as refraction error, is a problem with focusing light accurately onto the retina due to the shape of the eye. The most common types of refractive error are near-sightedness, far-sightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Near-sightedness results in far away objects being blurry, far-sightedness and presbyopia result in close objects being blurry, astigmatism causes objects to appear stretched out or blurry. Other symptoms may include double vision, headaches, and eye strain.
