Glasses prescription: Usually stabilizes by your age. Also, if it stays the same for at least a year or so, you can consider refractive surgery like lasik to correct your glasses need. You have to be careful about doing this though, since you are a boxer.

I've gotten weird headaches for several years(5 or 6?). My eyes start to hurt & my vision blurs. They hurt & burn until they start fighting to close. Sleep helps correct it. I wear reading glasses & my RX hasn't changed. What's wrong with my eyes?
