Hi, I am nearsighted I went today and had an eye exam and they too said I was nearsighted. They did my exam and fitted me for contacts. I tried on 2 different sets of contacts and both sets made everything very blurry, they put me on a machine where you look at a ballon and it said the contacts were making me farsighted. Why was this happening? Were they giving me the wrong prescription? Or am I just unable to get contacts? I do have a slight astigmatism, all I got from them was we will have to call you in a few days after we talk to other doctors in our office. Not the response I was expecting at all.
