And so to bed

commodorifiedBut first, a question:
I've always had trouble switching the focus of my eyes from "near" to "far"; when I'm tired, or have been reading of knitting over my glasses or with them off for a long time (dreadful habit, I know), or using the computer (glasses on),
1) it takes awhile for my to get my eyes to refocus for distance. When I'm writing or editing or working with vids I find I have to go outside and stare at a building across the river for a bit every hour or so, to fend off eyestrain.
2) When I get overly tired these days, my eyes start tracking more and more slowly; I'll turn my head sharply and my eyes will register this change in their own sweet time. This gives me some interesting afterimages, and also sometimes a mild case of seasickness, as it comes with a definite swoopy sensation.
3) I have progressives, but instead of the cliche of holding the menu or whatever far from my face, I still end up taking my glasses off and putting the text or small item I am working on right in front of my eyes; I may be myopic as Hell but my near vision is AMAZING; I get most of the fiddly jobs in this household for a reason.
Does anyone else get these three things? I don't think any of them is an actual problem, beyond the usual "Oh, yeah, eye-test time", I'm just curious.
