Karen's symptoms suggest that she has astigmatism, which can cause distorted or blurred vision due to irregularly shaped lenses. Myopia would cause difficulty seeing distant objects, while hyperopia would make it hard to focus on close objects. Presbyopia typically affects older individuals and causes difficulty seeing close objects due to a loss of lens flexibility.
