Clear and Blurry Vision
Near or far objects can appear blurry to many people. If you find yourself squinting to read a book or a computer screen, you could have farsightedness. If you find yourself squinting to examine the classroom board or a tv screen, you might have nearsightedness. Both of these conditions are extremely common and can be easily corrected with glasses or contacts. (1)
If you find yourself squinting or finding any objects blurry, please let your parent or guardian bring you to an eye doctor. The eye doctor can determine whether you are farsighted or nearsighted and help correct your vision.
