Yeah, my prescription is + and gas station reading glasses are wearable magnifying glasses, not sufficient for “I need vision correction all day” hyperopia.
I think myopic people sometimes assume all hyperopia is presbyopia. For many farsighted people though, its literally just the inverse of nearsightedness. Like, without my glasses my instinct is to hold something at arms reach to try to read it

Nearsighted here, hate holding print away to read it. Having contacts in, gotta use reading glasses. Wearing glasses? Take them off and hold it 1" from my eyeball. :)
Didn’t get lasik after my mother told me she loved it but had to hold her book far away. Don’t think I could live with that. Plus, been waking up blurry for 50 years. Waking up seeing clearly scares the crap out of me because that means I got so drunk I left my contacts in, and that means I got hammered and probably ruined that pair. That hasn’t happened in years.
