I have the opposite of Myopia. Near-perfect distance vision, but increasingly struggle with reading things that are close. Never had this problem as a child but it's become gradually worse as an adult, since my mid 30s or so.
Now I have glasses with +1 ADD power that help greatly, and can comfortably read tiny fonts on my phone screen again.
Isn’t this to be expected?

Sounds about right. The "Progressively worsening" part is worrying as I feel like it started affected me relatively young.
Mid-30s is maybe a tad earlier than average, but by the age of 40 you’d expect noticeable changes.
