I am 13, do you think I have cataracts.?!
Question: I am 13, do you think I have cataracts.?
I see blurry / double from a distance. Up close no, and when I squint it goes away. I'm 13 years old.
It's in both eyes, it's light blur from a distance only and it's only bad enough so that you can't reconize detail but when I squint most of it takes away. Not nothing big that effects me badly. I also notice shines / crystals coming from sources of light such as a lightbolb as if you were to look at a lightbulb while your eyes were watery. Is this something I should worry or panic about?
why don't you think this is cataracts

You have myopia or astigmatism or both of them. Only an eye-doctor can answer after he/she visits you. But don't worry , it's not a disease, just a vision defect. Hundreds of millions of people wear glasses for problem like yours and it's not a tragedy.
I think that what you have might be an Astigmatism. if you need info about it heres a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism they make glasses and contacts now that fix the problem.
I have it as well.
