What is the difference between near vision and distance vision?Updated a year ago

Your near vision is shown as 'Near Add' on your prescription and refers to your ability to see objects clearly at close distances. This is typically important for tasks such as reading, sewing, or working on a computer

Your distance vision is the 'SPH' and 'CYL' numbers added together and is the ability to see objects clearly at a distance. This is crucial for activities such as driving, watching TV, or recognizing people from afar.
