Will I need glasses?

Question

I get extreme eye aches when I do things up close, like reading or looking at a computer screen, for a certain period of time (about maybe 10-15 minutes constantly). I have my first eye exam thing coming up soon and I really hope I don't need glasses...would I need glasses for something like this?

I know pretty much nothing about eyes so...help would be very appreciated! Sorry if this is a dumb question!

Answer 1

Answer 2

From what you have described,it sounds like you need glasses.You'll probably only need them just to read,though.

Answer 3

It's okay and glasses are not really so bad:) I have contacts and ya you probley will good luck:)

Answer 4

Sadly, yes you probably will. But, don't worry you won't need them all the time. Now, "computer glasses" are fairly common. Also, glasses are becoming fashionable, like those thick black ones. Don't worry!  

Answer 5

I've been wearing glasses for 56 out my 60 years. I had glasses before I went for my first day at school. Glasses are not so bad. From what you describe, it does sound like eye strain, which COULD be caused by needing corrective lenses. It also may be caused by other things, lights that are too bright for example.Only your eye doctor can tell for sure. SO WHAT if you need glasses! Just walk down the street and see how many people already DO wear glasses! If you take the time to notice, you will see that huge numbers of people wear corrective lenses. I recently heard that more than half the adult population needs some form of corrective lenses. It is NOT a dumb question, but the people who take off their glasses so they "look better" in public ARE the dumb ones, going through life in a blur because they are too vain to wear glasses. By the way, I can't wear contact lenses because my astigmatism is so bad. Contacts CAN correct for a SMALL amount of astigmatism if they weight the lens so it has a heavy side which stays at the bottom, and for the same reason, I am not really a good candidate for laser eye surgery. I am stuck with glasses for life. The good thing, they became 2nd nature a LONG time ago... however, it feels strange when I am NOT wearing my glasses, sometimes. late at night...

Ther is no dumb questions! Well to be honest compture glasses might not hurt one bit. Many times your eyes get tired because of the strain you put on them. You might not need them all the time
