Eye Sight

[Empire3]

Hi I'm 13 and have started puberty pretty early (2 years ago):)

Ever since my eye-sight has got worse

can that be because of puberty and will I recover or am I doomed and have to get glasses

[Sonic Boom]

Yes, this happened to me. If you have become short-sighted, it generally tends to get worse until puberty is finished. Then after that they say it improves slowly.

Glasses?

Get contacts.

It is really hard to say because eyesight can be affected by a lot of things. Your best bet is to see an eye doctor if your eyesight has problems because he or she can find a problem early and treat it before it gets bad.

That happened to a boy in my classes in grade 9. During that 1 year, his eyes went from normal, to longsighted. He had no trouble getting used to wearing glasses. He's still needing them at 18. But it's been no big deal to him, & he's gay too.

I started puberty at about same age as you.
I'm 17 and been wearing glasses since two years now...my eyes are getting worse but hopefully, you'll b better.

My eyes have been getting worse too since puberty, but I play a lot of games too, so that could add to it.

It happened to me. Just get correctional lenses and you'll be okay. Its completely normal in my family

Glasses are not that worse... people need to get used to it ....
and after 2 weeks they will say that you look weird without glasses

It happens to me, started to use glasses on july last year, this yaer i forgot to use glasses for one week and the told me i lookd pretty weird without them

[AvMan]

Yep happens to some guys. Should correct itself over time though dont worry

[Faolan]

glasses aren't that bad... I got mine when I was 14 1/2. If you're really so freaked about it, get contacts.

I would check with an eye doctor.
