Should I get my eyes checked?

Question

I'm thirteen and my entire dad's side of the family has glasses and so does my brother. Lately things have seemed noticeably more blurry (distance), so I was thinking I should get them checked before school starts.

I haven't gotten them checked by a optrician ever and not by my school since like second grade.

I know I probably should but I don't want to go just for them to tell me I'm fine because we are really busy and the only way to do it is to make it seem important, so I don't want to go and make a big deal out of it if I'm ok...

Also if your eyes are anything worse than 20/20 do you get glasses or do you only get them when they are like 20/40 or something...

I put on my friend's and my brother's glasses ( neither of which are very strong) and everything was so clear and sharp edged and stuff!

Also, are there any ways you can check your eyes yourself just to see roughly if they are bad enough to see a dr about?

Thanks, sorry its kind of confusing!

Answer 1

Too much text for me to read but i think you should get your eyes checked, its quick and easy.

Answer 2

i had the same problem so i just went and got it over with and i ended up getting glasses for distances but i don't have to wear them all the time... even if you think its no biggy its better to get it done now before it gets worse from straining your eyes good luck =D

Answer 3

You need too, you cannot check your eyes yourself! Opticians are the experts,  I am short-sighted, called Myopia, meaning I cannot see distance, it's blurry and foggy, so you need to check this with the opticians, my nan and granddad needed glasses, which is why I have to wear mine for general use. It does not take long for them to diagnosis your eye problem, so, please just go, it will be worth it in the end :]

Answer 4

you should just get your eyes checked cause if your eyesight is pretty bad then it can get worse.
