For 65 years I had microscopic near sight, but could not read foot tall letters at 20 feet without glasses.
As was explained and discussed with the eye surgeon, with cataract surgery and lens replacement, I can see stars at night, leaves at the tops of trees and large text books at 3 feet without glasses, but for small text and close things I need reading glasses.
Talk with your doctor about what kind of lens was installed.
$10 drug store reading glasses may be what you need.
