I'm pretty near-sighted, I have to wear contacts everyday just to see!

Me too! It is also known as myopia or short-sightedness.

I always get them confused, myopia means you can see things up close and far away things are blurry, right?
1_Wizard
Yes that is correct. Distant objects would appear blurry and objects close up appear normal.

Ah, yes, I wasn't sure. I've always had myopia, it's awful.

Me too and is has caused me many headaches due to eye strain.
