I was having that problem, and eventually realised I need to take my glasses *off to be able to see close up now. I'm now both short sighted and long sighted, making finding a point at which I can actually see clearaly quite tricky.

I have been using needle threaders for hand sewing which I never used to need, and replaced my sewing machine with a model that has a needle threader built in.

I needed glasses as a kid, so the likely hood now isn’t a great surprise. Some of those little wire gizmos are probably in the house somewhere or other

Design flaw that having both doesn't cause them to cancel out, really.
