eye sights

Hi Ray,

Thanks. My dictionary gives two meanings to the word "far-sighted". I am citing the one related to the context I have given.

Far-sighted = In American English, far-sighted people cannot see things clearly that are close to them, and therefore need to wear glasses. The usual British expression is long-sighted.

My question is: am I near-sighted or long-sighted / far-sighted? I cannot see things clearly that are close my my eyes.

Hi teachers,
Why do you say " I'm becoming NEAR-SIGHTED . " here but not "FAR-SIGHTED" ? Because  "The nearer the page is, the fuzzier the words are. If I move the page a little further from my eyes, then I can see it more clearly. The doctor said I need reading glasses.

Best wishes

Oh, I see .Thank you Grammar Geek
