How can a person have both myopia (near-sightedness) and hyperopia (far-sightedness) at the same time?

I know that this is typical for older people, and that they usually have two pair of glasses – one for reading, the other for TV, or they have bifocal glasses. What I don’t understand is if the myopia is a symptom that light is focused before the retina and hyperopia behind the retina, how can it be both?

i have glasses that help with my near sided and far sidedness. the doctor told me it was because my pupils/ cones were oval shape and not as circular.
