I'm 15 and I already wear contacts. Will I become blind when I get older?!


Question: I'm 15 and I already wear contacts!. Will I become blind when I get older!?
It's not like my eye sight is that bad without contacts!. I have 20/100 vision!. I'm near-sighted, so it doesn't really affect me in my daily life except I can't read street signs which is a problem!. If I go blind when I get old I think I'll go crazy!. Will I become blind!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Many people need vision correction long before your age, and they don't go blind! Don't worry, 20/100 isn't that bad and unless it is deteriorating quickly now, you have no reason to believe that it will in the future!. It could even get better! (Not likely, but I've heard of that happening with people who wear contacts)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dude, I'm 16 and my eyes are bad too!. Don't expect them to stop progressing until you're around 18-20, during then, will slow down!.

Until then, reduce the time you spend on the computer, read and take regular breaks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is no reason for you to go blind unless you develop an eye disease that isn't treatable!.
