My eyes see blurry when I look at least 20 feet away?

Question

When I'm sitting in class, and look at the board, if I'm far enough, it's really blurry. And it's not just the chalkboard. It's anyhting else. I can't see far. It's blurry if I do. I can see things that are close to me sharply. But it's a blur when I look far. Is it normal? Should I go checkup? What's it called?

Answer 1

what bill means by "not normal" is that you're "supposed" to have perfect vision (20/20) which most people dont-the shape of your eyeball can change over time (even when your young) and that affects if you develop near-sighted or far-sightedness. most people have this when they are young children and dont notice it until they're older.

but near-sighted and far-sighted are normal because it is very common and easy to take care of. it's just caused by the normal variations in the shapes of people's eyeballs (affects the way the eyes focus).

however, there are actual eye diseases that would need emergency medical care. near-sighted or far-sightedness are not in this category. (unless your vision becomes too blurry for glasses etc., which isnt likely).

you should go to an optician to get a glasses or contact prescription. now that you know you are near-sighted, you should get a new glasses prescription every year. you may also want to get an opthalmologist (a medical physician of the eye) even if your eyes are already healthy. eyes are very precious!

Answer 2

Not normal. It's called near-sighted meaning you can't see far away (clearly). Usually happens in the teens or early twenties but today can be earlier with computers, small screens on phones, etc.

No big deal. Get an eye exam and find some cool specs or contacts.

Answer 3

you've got nearsightedness, like me! yeah, you should go get your eyes checked.

Answer 4

This condition means you are short-sighted.

You should go to an optician for a check up and an eye test. They will make the suitable requirements for your needs.
