Typically, in long-sighted vision (hyperopia), the eye finds it easier to focus on objects in the distance in comparison to objects at close range. E.g. The clock on the wall opposite you is clearer than the watch on your wrist. 

In short-sighted vision (myopia), objects near to the eye are clearer than objects further away. E.g. The textbook on your desk is easy to see but the writing on the board in the classroom is out of focus.  

Presbyopia is an aging process of the eye which causes the lens to harden over time. It makes it more difficult to focus on things up close and you may find it easier to hold things further away. 

Astigmatism occurs due to the irregular shape of the eye and causes things to appear squashed, stretched or less defined in certain directions.  It is common and can be corrected easily.
