Eyesight declining?!


Question:

Eyesight declining?

I am sixteen and my eyesight has just gotten bad recently. I never had problems before last year, but now everything that is far away is blurry. Most people that I know (who are nearsighted) had their vision decline around the age of twelve. I was wondering what may have caused this to happen.

*Its not hereditary because non of my immediate family and only a handful of my extended family wears glasses.

I've had an eye exam and I know I need glasses. I am just wondering what caused it.


Answers:

That's when it happened to me as well. I was a sophomore in high school. I remember having to do a project which required me to look at a lot of maps. One day I looked up and I couldn't read the blackboard anymore! I know some people say that it is a myth that doing a lot of reading/studying causes nearsightedness, but that's what seemed to have happened to me.
