How do yyou know if you need glasses?!


Question: My elementary/middle school was never serious about sight testing if you could see the first couple rows you had 20/20 vision. it was a joke. i have been noticing i get headaches a lot when i read, and it takes my eyes a while to adjust to things far away/ close etc. i just thought it was normal idk, but my friend was like you need glasses. is he right? do i need glasses?
the eye doctor scares me but i guess i will go, its just really frustrating because i put his glasses on and everything was really really sharp looking. it was insane, i didnt know the average person saw that well!
so do i really need glasses or is it all in my head?

don't be afraid of the eye doctor, you will be glad you went because then you'll know more about your eyesight and they'll also check your eyes for problems. before i went to the eye doctor i thought my eyes weren't that bad and that i could just deal with it- not smart! Not dealing with the problem makes your eyes worse and once you have glasses it will be such a relief to take the strain of your eyes and see things so much more clearly.
good luck.
and on the plus side some glasses are really cool looking nowa days!

Sounds like you may need glasses. Go to your eye doctor and they'll test your eyesight and give you a prescription to make a pair of glasses.

Well....based on the fact that you didn't notice you spelled you wrong (yyou), I would say you need glasses.

I'm just teasing. Seriously though, go to the eye doctor. They're the only ones that can give you a definite answer.
If you end up not needing them, at least you'll be sure.

That's not really a Yahoo question is it? I mean this sounds like one of those "consult your physician" type questions...

... but yes it sounds like you need glasses.

Yes you need glasses. Unless you want to go around having the same difficulties. Quandary will get you nowhere, if everything seems sharp and clear when you put on glasses then i suggest getting them.

If you are afraid of the eye doctor,let me assure you there is no need. You may have heard horror stories described by others (many used to embellish the truth, IMHO). It sounds like you do need glasses, but if you do, they probably wouldn't be a really strong prescription. If you tried your friends' glasses, be aware that the prescription is not for you. They are tailored to your friend. You won't benefit from using another person's glasses unless they have the exact same prescription. I've been in healthcare for some years, and an eye exam is not anything huge. Call around to different eye doctors and go with the one who makes you feel comfortable! If you need glasses, a new pair can really make a huge difference!!!!! Good luck, and I hope all goes well with you!

Soinds like you need to have your eyes examined by a professional, as they are the only ones with the expertise to do the testing to determine precisely that factor. Good luck.
