How is it possible that my eye prescription indicates that I am farsighted and I have an astigmatism, but I have no problems with my vision?

Post Body

I don’t have any problems with my vision, but my eyes hurt all the time even when I am sleeping. I don’t get how I can apparently be farsighted according to my prescription and need glasses but I can see and read things just fine without struggling and did well on the vision test. I am honestly just curious if this is normal. I am skeptical that glasses will make my eyes hurt less because I don’t struggle to see. Also, if they do help, how long should it approximately take for me to stop feeling pain in my eyes? Should the glasses provide instant relief or will it take a while before I notice a difference? Thank you.
