It sounds like you are short sighted like me. When I was 19, I had the same problem.....things like looking at road signs etc. was becoming difficult. I got glasses and it's great to be able to see things clearly!!!
Good luck
Yes, you should get an assessment.
You might be surprised how well you *could* be seeing.
But you don't have to get the glasses just because you've had the test, so you're not irrevocably committed to getting an Rx just by going.
yes, i think you do need to see a dr. and i am sure he will recommend you glasses. I had the same problem when i was 12. i had trouble watching the T.V. reading the black board and road signs. i advice you should first and foremost tell your parents about your problem so they can take you to the doctor.
Have a sight test at your local optician. Because you are 15 you won't have to pay and they will put your mind at rest by answering all your questions and testing your eyes.
If you need glasses, again becasue you are under 16, you will get help from the NHS towards the cost of your glasses (may be even free)
Good luck,
