A member asked:

Do i need to see the eye doctor? i noticed things in the distance have become blurry and ive caught myself squinting a lot.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would: When you squint, the process changes the shape of your eyeball & alters the way it processes the way light waves hit your retina. When this improves your vision it suggests you need glasses.
