Hi, 20 years old and have question about eyes.
At Age 17 in Eye test my vision was 10/10 (with difficult) and my eye doctor after check my eye said that I have tendancy for myopia.
At 18 years old I did my Eye test for drive, but cant see letters 10/10 both eye and in one cant see 9/10. ( He only asked at 8/10 letters).
I Always see halos and starburst at night from the light, like streetlights or car lights and the vision Is not clear. my vision go blurry after 5/10 minutes at screen( especially at night and feel tired eye). Also see ghosting effect ( White writing doubled at black background) and when i look into a little hole, all the ghosting effect dissapear and look more Sharp and Easy to ready at far.
This Is sign that I may need glasses or not? Never wear glasses.
I Will do an Eye exam soon.

If you see halos from lights at night it sounds like you have an astigmatism. If you Google ‘what vision with astigmatism looks like’ it will show pictures so you can see if this is how your vision is.
Everyone should have a sight test at least every two years, it’s an important eye health check, not just a vision check. Maybe book with a different optician if you aren’t confident the last one was thorough.

I have astigmatism in both eyes now, night blind, I get the halos, rod and cone defect..wasted a lot of money on special night vision glasses,fancy lenses, none worked.. interestingly, when I had to pay for my eye tests, I was told I needed them annually, now free,(age) they are 2 yearly. Mildly short sighted, glasses for driving and watching TV.. it's very rare to have 10/10 vision, I wonder if you are not in the UK, because here it would be called 20/20.

I can't answer your questions, but I think it's good that you will have your eyes examined soon! It's important, both for the eyesight and for the eye health.
