  For people with astigmatism,they can't see both near and distant without squinting and there seems to be double image in their vision .Sometimes they may have eye strain or headaches.They have difficulty focusing on printed words and lines.But people with myopia can see things close up.For your case,it is possibly that you are having myopia.

• Are there any contacts available for both astigmatism and nearsightedness?

  Toric contact lenses are available for people who have both astigmatism and nearsightedness because toric contact lenses have two power, one for astigmatism and the other for either nearsightedness or farsightedness.

• Should I get single or progressive vision sunglasses?

  Progressive lenses are also called no line bifocals, they have all bebefits of bifocals and trifocals. They can ensure clear vision at all distances, for near distance, far distacne and also mid-range distance. For they have no lines in the lenses so they won't reveal that the wearer is wearing bifocals. Single vision lenses are for special purpose for one person to have one prescription to see at all distance. They can be used for "distance only" or "near vision" (reading only).
