Long & Short Sight and Reading Confused?


Hello

My presription is

Right -0.1 +1.25
Left -0.75 +1.25

Without glasses I can read comfortably by holding my book with a bent arm. But with my glasses on I have to hold the book at arms length.

Reading without glasses - Do the minus and plus values cancel each other out to equal near normal vision?

Also my optician said I could wear one contact in my dominant right eye and no contact in my left eye. So basically use the R.Eye for distance and the L.Eye for reading. It sounds a bit strange to me?

PS I guess the long sight is due to my age, born in '65.
