My myopia is moderate. I'm not in the blind-as-a-bat coke-bottle-lenses category. I definitely do need glasses for distance, but I've always been able to read without glasses. I typically hold reading material about 9-10 inches from my face for the small font size I like to read (could be hold it a little farther away for large fonts). I know I have some astigmatism too - I think pretty much anybody I've ever known who had glasses for myopia had astigmatism as well.
