Should i wait for glasses?

Question

i have i think 20/35 vision in one eye and 20/40 in the other. i failed the vision test at school and went to an eye doctor for an exam in march. he said if i need glasses i can get them if i think i need them but i dont think so then i dont have to. i wasn't sure so he said you can come back if you notice you do at school or whatever. i definitely need to go back next march but i do move up to see the board sometimes in school depending on where i sit. also it is very hard to see when it starts to get dark in the evening. i noticed faraway signs are blurry. should i wait until march or get them for the school year or never get them?

Answer 1

I think that you will find it useful to have a pair of glasses even if you don't wear them very often.  When I first got mine and found how clear everything became, I wished that I hadn't put off getting them for so long.  I still don't wear them all the time but I'm so glad to have them for things like the theatre and cinema.  Good luck.

Answer 2

You only have minor impairment, and should be able to function well (and drive) without correction... but the bottom line is YOU. If you feel hampered by your myopia, then get glasses. It may be physical, it may be psychological, but if they help you perform better, get them.

Answer 3

I would get them, use them for reading the board, you would hate to get a bad grade for not copying something correctly...

Answer 4

You should go ahead and get them and use them as needed.  Just because you get glasses doesn't mean you have to wear them all of the time.  Just use them when you need to read the board or as it's getting dark.  Leave them in your glasses case the rest of the time.  My daughter's eyes weren't really bad enough to get glasses the first time she went to the eye dr. but by the time she went back a year and a half later or so, her eyes had gotten a lot worse.  So, I would definitely advise you to go ahead and get them and use them when you need them.
