Are my eyes going bad?

Question

it runs in my family... bad eyesight. my mom, dad brothers and sisters all have glasses.. even my aunts and uncles..

at first i thought nothing of it.. then i realized it's here to stay..

my eyes are blurry.. not super blurry, but enough for me to notice.. and it feels like i have to blink or squint. like.. you know how when you first wake up and things are blurry so you have to rub your eyes.. i feel like i need to constantly rub my eyes, and try to see better. it also takes like, half a second to focus on things. sometimes it feels like my eyes are dry..

also, i feel bug eyed.. like my eyes are sticking out..

is it just my eyesight going bad? if it matters i'm 18, 19 in may.

my bro needed glasses when he was 16. he's 27 now.

Answer 1

Your vision is not good so you need glases or contacts. It may worsen until you stop growing. 2/3 of the american population are like this. You are in the majority.
