How to tell if you need glasses

If you've never worn glasses before, it's tough to know if you should be wearing them. Symptoms can include blurriness, a veil over your vision or spots in your eyes. But there are hidden dangers that have no symptoms that you should definitely be concerned about.

[@tilleytoybox3001]

Well because you said finger the question is not really a question it’s because you said finger it mean you have 1 that means your only holding up one if you mean what you said. So that question is not hard at all. If anyone was paying close attention to what he or she was saying they would have automatically got the right answer. If you meant to write fingers it’s ok but I had to explain how you could get the answer without even seeing you.

I have a story actually, in grade 4 all the cool kids started getting classes, and I really wanted a pair so I'd be classed as a cool kid and impress my crush. I pretended I couldn't read anything close up, so my mum took me to the opticians and I ended up getting eye drops and long vision glasses.. the glasses effected my eyes and now I can't see anything far away. I'm now awaiting short vision glasses.

I noticed that there was something wrong with my vision since my late 11's I thought it was normal but until I started getting terrible and I told my mom they did a preliminary on me and it said I had 20/20 perfect vision. but when I went to the eye doctor I was noticing it was pretty hard to read the boards on the screen they were also double too. Then the eye doctor said I had a stigmatism in needed glasses. I was too excited cuz I've always wanted glasses. 🤓🤓

[@barebarekun161]

Almost the same case except that I was blessed with 20/20 vision all my childhood it only started to get worse in my 20s. Now I have 20/20 left and 20/40 right eye vision.

Omg I have astigmatism too! I thought my vision was normal but when last year I noticed that something isn't right. Although I can still see thing far away but not texts, especially the small ones.

[@jasonlarsen4945]

I'm 44 and have and still have 20/20 vision. No nearsightedness or farsightedness. In my 30s I started developing a mild astigmatism in both eyes. The doctor gave me a mild prescription for glasses. I didn't need them, but they helped make things just a bit clearer. 7 years later the astigmatism had doubled in both eyes, and I now need to wear my glasses. Still no nearsightedness or far sightedness, or even much of the "old age eye syndrome" I don't need reading glasses if I have my astigmatism glasses on or hold the book close. Might need a reading lense added someday. Dr. says I'll probably never need lenses for nearsightedness or farsightedness, but the astigmatism will probably keep getting worse.

For whatever reason I can see clearly with or without glasses. I don't have glasses and do very well on eye tests. I've tried my moms glasses and my gfs glasses and my vision might go blurry for a moment when i choose a point to focus on then adjusts until I see sharply. They would just make things look zoomed out a bit. Stronger glasses might be a different story though. Dont know how well I'd do on a vision test with them on but for me things were pretty sharp. But for years now I've begun to have some visual disturbances like visual snow and perceptual changes and my vision is just full of extra noise but I still do well on vision tests, with both eyes and with either eye closed.

I don’t know why but I keep questioning my eyesight. I will sometimes find it very difficult to focus clearly on certain things. Usually screens are the worst but it can happen in other places too. I have a teacher who seems to be writing small to the point I’m not sure what he's writing on the board. I am also not sure if having a small focus point is normal. Basically, if I do need glasses, it would only be making easier what little bit I do struggle with. However, I might just be paranoid or not getting enough sleep or something. I don’t really know. I haven’t had a proper extensive eye test done probably ever. All I’ve ever done was the E chart and that was last done properly a few years ago.

Here I am feeling bad because of my kid may need glasses watching this video. But im surprised she said kinds of glasses she wants so maby she getting better. Tomorrow we are going to the eye doctor. My husband doesn't know where its at neither do I so wish me luck for tomorrow.

Hope it went well, I took my little daughter to an appointment recently and turns out she has mommy's eyes 😊❤️🤓 she got glasses and she's so much happier and loves them. I think she looks so cute ❤️ hope everything went well on your side of things, you're a great parent for taking her! Glasses are an important thing in life. Me and my daughter wear them all the time, they're such a help ❤️ we love them!

[@bunebone]

I tried my grandpa's glasses, it was so clear to me like I could see better. I was really shock at that time.

[@alfredzheng7307]

I think you grandpa has presbyopia glasses but presbyopia only affect those who are 40 or older

[@hyrule5975]

Just get them tested probably once a year! Tests are free in most country’s and I didn’t even realise my vision was ‘bad’ until I put the glasses on

[@laurisuurmaa2752]

I am 46 and still dont have any issues with close reading (had lasik to correct myopia in 2003). Let to check my eyes and the numbers which were printed out from the refractometer, were exactly the same as in 2004.

[@lozsurviver]

im 18 and i had a farsight problem. i have it since i was 13. i found out how to deal with it without using glasses. i just have to point 2 finger right next to my eye and kinda adjust it until u can see it clearly. its kinda weird but it works

[@Shahbas_]

[@High5Authentic]

I have a question. If I haven't worn my prescribed glasses in almost a year or so, could I still use them if I choose to wear them now?

[@rain_l]

I struggle focusing my eyes on things in front of me and I struggle to read things that have light around then (eg neon signs or things written in lights). I’ve had my eyes checked and they said that they’ve gotten worse since last time I was there and said that I should come back in two years to check them again but they’re not bad enough for glasses yet but it’s just starting to be a pain in my life and I really don’t want to wait for my eyes to get even worse to get glasses if I’ll need them anyway

[@coffeewithkarlie]

Holy crap. I have trouble reading the board at school and I also have that weird flashing lights at the corner of my eyes! I always thought it was just normal or my eyes are just having trouble focusing. So does this mean I need glasses? *edit: hi yes i just got my annual eye checkup and it turns out my right eye has a terrible astigma (167 out of 180 or something) and my left eye is just gradually loosing distance. the astigma on my right eye is from a injury i have gotten a few years ago! anyways i finally just now bought my first pair of glasses and i can finally see far awayyyyy 3/31/22*

[@notonlyy0urs518]

I'm 15 years old and I always look at screens from my smartphone everytime. Now, I have myopia or astigmatism (I don't know which one of them I'm experiencing, both perhaps.) I'm afraid to tell about it to my parents. I've begun eye exercises now, I hope my vision would improve.

[@ade1174]

Better to start wearing glasses and save yourself a headache later on in life.

[@die9618]

Why are you scared to tell your parents about your eyesight? I dont think eye exercises really does improve vision, you should get glasses cuz it can actually imrpove your vision, its been 1 year since your comment i hope u got one

[@darkleader2056]

did the exercise improve your vision?? i think i also need glasses

[@francinedecipolo5287]

What if it is not blurry but it makes you feel dizzy or makes you feel collapse??

[@citc23]

Here me out. I can see the board in class when I’m sat near to it but when I’m in the back, it’s practically blurry. Before, I could focus my eyes really hard to make out the words but it makes me question that if I have good eyesight why do I need to put effort into that. These days though focusing on the words is getting harder. I don’t know if this requires glasses but it’s making me curious.

[@lunar-_gacha6130]

[@nonbinaryfirefly5792]

I’m near sighted and I remember in sixth grade, my friend finished his Julius Caesar speech and he did a great job. I was a little less than 20 feet from the board and I said to him in front of the whole class, “Daniel, I really like your presentation. Sounds like you worked really hard on memorizing it. I like how you used the board but I can’t tell what it says because my vision is terrible.” I got glasses a week later. About my speech: I had a panic attack in front of my class

How's it now

[@wvo_owv]

I am literally so thankful to have perfect vision.

[@Angel-qq1mv]

My mom said that I was born with bad vision but didn’t know until I was 5, and entered school. But whenever I read, I preferred to take off my glasses. I always thought that it was because there used to be this scratch right in the center of my glasses. But when I got it replaced, I still preferred to take off my glasses to read. Is that normal?

[@lyla_eq]

I'm going to get my eyes checked in a few days. Both of my parents needed glasses, but my mom got a surgery on her eyes so she doesn't need them any more. So eventually I knew I would need them. I can't see anything that well even if it's just like 4 feet away from me. If it's 6 feet, then I'm as blind as a bat. And my eyes are constantly hurting.

[@lyla_eq]

@@JacksWorldAnimations yeah you should probably get that checked out. I needed glasses and it was worth it.

[@lyla_eq]

@@JacksWorldAnimations the only thing that's really frustrating about glasses is that I find them impossible to clean. And you have to clean them a lot. It probably doesn't help that I am in a humid state.

[@celiayutuc7524]

So it effects the Retina or pupil? Or lens?

[@edgarfailedtobeugly4437]

Honestly, I want glasses cause it is so sharper when i try them on cuz I gotta lean toward the board at school or go up to the board to see what's on there :p

[@elizabethgracian3102]

Omg I always see a light in the corner of my eyes also I can’t see that well

I will admit that stuff that is far away and smaller is getting super blurry for me. Even though I don't know if im going blind or- Sorry this just started early.

[@storr7535]

[@edtyfesnice2916]

I went for an eye test yesterday then after that I saw that I needed power and I got the power of -2.25 and I was like I can finally see and no one believed me untill my teacher told my parents I could not see the board

[@Emily-os1jd]

I don't have trouble reading things at least 1-2 feet close to me but things farther than that is blurry and doubling shits. I never really noticed it since I was home all day during quarantine till now, i only noticed how bad my eyesight was when we ate in a fast food chain and I couldn't read a thing. My last and first check up was when I was 7, and it was 20/20. Lets say my vision got worse throughout the years since then. Now I use glassed that has a grade around 200. I hope it doesn't get worse.

[@skyral4137]

I have a friend with grade 800 left and 1000 right lol, every time he gets a new pair he has to spend 300+ dollars.

[@harrysanimatedfish4702]

I tried my moms glasses on as a joke then I realized I could see much better and I didn’t wanna take them off-

[@miloradvlaovic]

Yes and also one of the most misdiagnosed/miscalculated things is the whole medical field is the dioptre. So we go see an ophthalmologist, they observe our eyes through a device, and 80% of them (at least) do not give; a) enough time for your eye apparatus to adapt b) different amounts of time for each of your eyes to adapt, resulting in a very wrong dioptre. And this is just one of the reason why you get prescribed eyeglasses which do not actually correct your eyesight, but in fact worsen it. So you go again after the 6 months and similar thing happens... and so forth into the vicious circle. Ironically one of the worst environmental influences on your eye sight are corrective glasses. Save up for a laser surgery, or for a couple of top notch ophthalmologists who are confident enough to charge you like 2000 pounds for an eye exam. Because these people know if they get it wrong they can get sued up to fourth generation of their successors (a hyperbole, obviously) and will thus do anything humanely possible to accurately access your visual acuity. They will also be more than likely to have the top notch medical equipment which involves minute human engagement, on both sides (Dr and the patient) which eliminates subjective biases that ruin the diagnosis. So If you can't belt it, just keep going on checkups to make sure your retina's ok and in place, and that you don't have the Glaucoma or some overt infection. Glasses don't seem to "comply" to the "Primum no nocere" guideline the wast majority of time.

[@V3IO_.]

My mum noticed I needed glasses when in was 4-5, when I had to sit really close to the tv since I couldn’t see, she would always tell me to sit on the couch but I could never see from there. From then I started wearing glasses, at first my eyesight was very weak and couldn’t use the metal frames cuz of how thick the lens is. Now I can wear metal frames and it got a lot better.

Honestly I already know I need glasses and I already told my parents and my dad was angry because he thought it was because of my phone and he told my mom to book an appointment with the family doctor but she forgot and now I'm afraid to say that I need glasses a second time because my dad might give me less phone time and will give me a half-hour lecture on how I need to stop using my phone too much

[@mesho2222]

I'm kinda like you! I know I need glasses I told my dad he also got mad and knew bc it was my phone.. then I told my mom she got very mad at me since when I saw like 9 or 10 they kept telling me "stop talking electric devices to much!" "Take a rest!" "You will regret it" and ofc I didn't believe it or care... but now.. my eyes keep getting worse and worse!! I'm scared I can't see through 6 inches.... I'm trying to rest my eyes and not take the electric devices but it's just that.. I have nothing else to do.. yes, I did see stuff u can on the internet.... But not everyone can do all of those- some people have other problems through their lives. I hope u understand what I said- rn my eyes are really blurry that I'm almost getting a heart attack looking at far and a bit close things... I know for fact I'm getting blind before I turn 13.. 😩 I can't imagine what will happen when that day comes.. but I know nothing good will happen...

@@mesho2222 well just so you know I told my mom a second time without telling my dad that I needed glasses and now I have glasses. So maybe you should try telling your parents again because when I put on my glasses for the first time I said "wow I can see each leaf on the tree!"

I have kerateconus and what I need is surgery. All I know is that if the day is sunny and partly cloudy, I look up in the blue sky and see those worms and halos floating around. My perception is way off. My left eye is a lot worse than the right one. So this gives me a hard time when walking (bumps are what get me) which makes me feel like one of my legs is longer than the other one. Other downside is that I have to squint to get see a few more feet
