What makes your eyesight get worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Myopia/ presbyopia: Progressive myopia is in the genetic makeup. Nothing has been shown to stop the progression. You are of the age when near vision gets blurry, this is called presbyopia and is treated with reading glasses or bifocals.
