Is there any possibility for long sight along with myopic astigmatism?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

In the prescription you have mentioned, there are two components, the spherical (+0.75) and the cylindrical (-0.5 at axes 70 & 10 respectively). The important thing to note here is that reading glasses per se are given to people above 40 years of age. In your case, I feel that this power is probably your distance correction. The doctor might have felt that they may be a bit cumbersome to wear all the time, and would have given a small magnitude of power and probably have told you only to put them on during intense visual activities like watching computers, reading books, etc.An accurate way to say whether these were meant for distance or for reading is to recall how you were tested at the doctor's office in the first place. Suppose they made you sit at a distance and asked you to read out the letters on a screen then these are distance vision glasses. If they had tested the power by giving you a book in your hand and asked you to read it, then these would be reading glasses. So, coming back to your question, firstly, reading glasses are meant only for distances around 33 cm from you for the books and around 100 cm for the computers and you would not be able to see beyond this. Second, the far-sighted power of +0.75 is determined by the length of your eyeball. In case of far sightedness, the eyeballs are shorter compared to normal and in near sightedness, they are longer. The astigmatic power is determined by the curvature of your cornea. In your case (myopic astigmatism) the corneas are steeper at axes of 70 and 10 degrees respectively compared to the rest of the cornea. In Hypermetropic astigmatism, they are flatter in that particular meridian compared to the rest of the cornea. I hope this helps.
