Edit - but I guess that is what normal sighted people have as they get older; just need something to read - no idea if it is as bad as corrected distance lenses though.
Same for me. I can see up close perfectly well with my naked eyes - it's only when I have my distance correction (via specs or contact lenses) in place that I need a reading addition.
