Nearsighted means you can only see stuff that's near to you, and you can't see anything beyond a certain distance.
Farsighted means you can only see stuff that's far from you, and you can't see anything at a certain distance or closer to you. When people get "reading glasses" it's because they're farsighted.
Me, I'm nearsighted, but I can't see anything from about 3 inches in front of my eyes on out. But since the range extends from a certain point and then out from there, it's nearsightedness.
Aside from having to squint to see stuff that is 10 feet or closer to you, do you have any problem seeing things at a distance? Because what you've described so far sounds like you're farsighted.
