My distance vision went to shit when I had a glaucoma test from some old school optometrist who pressed a popsicle stick against my lenses as part of the process. My eyes were tearing for months afterwards, so no, they're not all the same.

Aplanation tonometry shouldn't result in any form for visual impairment. It remains the gold standard in the industry. Non-contact tonometry (puff of air test) is convenient but not as reliable. You had a better test, (possibly conducted by a poorer practitioner, although this is the Internet so...)
Edit. Or fluorescein minim? Either way.

It’s your age. The cornea hardens as you get older and your vision starts to impair. In and around 40 is the most common age for this to happen.
