Hello
It seems from the history that you have undergone cataract surgery and following it you are having blurred vision for near.
This is normal and this is because of loss of accommodation as lens is removed.
Hence all people post cataract surgery require correction for near vision with near addition glasses.
Hence no need to worry about it.

Thank you
