It sounds like you are experiencing presbyopia, a natural, age-related loss of near-focusing flexibility that occurs alongside your myopia. To improve your near vision, several options exist: Prescription Eye Drops: Vuity (pilocarpine) drops can temporarily constrict your pupils, improving near vision for a few hours. Corrective Lenses: Progressive lenses, bifocals, or contact lenses set for 'monovision' (one eye corrected for distance, the other for reading). Surgical Options: Monovision LASIK or Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) with multifocal lens implants. I recommend discussing these specific options, especially progressive lenses or Vuity drops, with an ophthalmologist.
