Can one be both farsighted and nearsighted?
Question:
Answer:
Of course, that's why they make bi-focals. It sounds like you probably have astigmatisms as well. That means you have a distortion of your lens. If one side of your the lens in your glasses is thicker than others that is an astigmatism. I have no idea if Lasik surgery can fix vision like that but I wouldn't think so.
I think that's a condition called astigmatism
I don't know what solution to give you, but it is possible to be farsighted in one eye and nearsighted in the other.
You may also be opposite in each eye.
Yep! It's called Presbyopia and Hyperopia.
Laser surgery (Lasik) can improve one or the other but not both. Most people I know who have had this procedure choose to improve their "distance" vision and wear reading glasses for close up purposes.
There is another procedure that will restore eyesight to 20/20 but it is very ex$pensive! (About $5,500 per eye). It is called Crystal Lens.
There are drawbacks to all corrective procedures. I suggest you google "Lasik" and "Crystal Lens".
both are common that is why they have bifocals.
