There is nothing you can do to prevent having to get glasses. To keep your eyes healthy, have a check done every couple of years for glaucoma and other diseases.

Heredity comes into the equation, but is not 100%. People need glasses when their eyeballs are "out of round" - the focal point of the lens is either behind or in front of the back of the eyeball and so the image formed is blurry. Glasses change the focal point, sharpening the image.

Typically many people need corrective lenses by age 40, but it's not unusual for all ages of people to have inherited eyes that need correction. There can be all kinds of head trauma to affect your eyes, health problems, many things to cause a person to need glasses. Go to an opthalmologist for a special check up to determine the cause of your problem. Only a specialist can help you. People on this site can't diagnose you. Eat healthy and I've pasted a web site here for you to read about eye health. But get an appointment with your doctor soon.

It could be hereditary, or not hereditary. I don't think there is a solid scientific answer for that. You can improve your site by taking care of your body, i.e. no smoking, include a lot of vegetables in your diet.
