Why is my eyesight getting worse? (self.Blind)
submitted 8y ago by Footinyourass_
Okay, first I am 14. I have been noticing over the course of the last year my eyesight has been getting weird. I see a lot of "spots" or glaring or something and though it doesn't realistically affect my life it is really annoying and weird. Also I find my vision getting slightly more blurry. I've googled and cant find any results. Thanks.

As someone with deteriorating sight, get your sight checked by a professional not Dr Google and do it now, as time can be of the essence.

Little flashes of light? Phosphenes could be what you're referring to. You could also be referring to floaters. Look them up on wikipedia.
If you're at all concerned about your vision, you need to see a doctor and talk to them about it. It's far far FAR better to get yourself in to see a doctor and ask them all the questions you have, and have it just be something silly. Don't be the person who feels like something is wrong with their vision and just ignores it and doesn't see a doctor. Chances are you'll be fine, but if something is wrong, it's much better to catch it early when you can do something about it.

Also it sounds more like phosphenes than floaters.

I have a physical coming up anyways, I guess I can just ask then.

First, I urge you to check an ophtalmologist to avoid letting a possible disease degradate your vision further.
Second, if he tells you you need glasses because your eyesight decreased, then don't worry. You basically need to relax your eyes through eye exercises. From that point and with consistency, you can improve your eyesight.
If the concept is new to you, here's a beginner website that I always recommend in this kind of situations:

the name is a bit lengthy but it does what it suggests.

As someone whos parents have to change a lot of things around to accommodate doctors appointments, how urgent is this need to see an ophtalmologist?

When your vision changes you're supposed to get it looked at ASAP.

I don't mean to worry you. But it's a precaution measure, that's all.
