It was part of the general comment I was making. Nothing was directed at you specifically.

I tried on my old ones today and they don't do much for me since I did get them when my vision wasn't half as bad as it is now, so I will need to get new ones. It will be awhile before I get them probably. I'm hoping maybe they have updated their selection and included more options. If not, I'll still wear them though just because now, even when I squint it's still blurry. That sort of tells me something.
Wearing glasses will never be fun, but you might as well start doing it now. No point in having daily headaches for the rest of the forseeable future. Plus it hampers your everyday life. You certainly won't be able to drive without your glasses.

Having bad vision sucks. Having it get worse each year is scary. Unfortunately, it probably won't level off until your late 20's. It bites, but that's the way it usually works.

People who have 20/20 vision do not appreciate how fortunate they are.
