Since people become more farsighted as they age, does this guarantee that my nearsightedness will become less severe during my 30s/40s?

No. What actually happens as you age isn't that you become more nearsighted, it's that you lose your accommodation, i.e., the focusing range of your eye. People with normal vision need reading glasses when they get older; nearsighted people need bifocals.

No. Like a previous poster said, you can be nearsighted and farsighted at the same time. It means you eyes' focusing muscles are getting too weak to do their job.

Nope. You can be nearsighted and farsighted at the same time.
