You will notice right away, but it doesn't happen in a day.
Your eyesight worsens gradually.
But you Will know easily,
whenever you have trouble seeing things.
Driving in the car, you may notice that you can't read some of the big signs far away.
The letters will look fuzzy, like they are glowing, and they'll be hard to make out until you're close enough to see what it says.
And trying to read the overhead, chalk board, or white board in school is nearly impossible.
All the letters and symbols look like a fuzzy blur, and you can't see the details, making it impossible to identify each letter.
Basically,
if you notice things aren't looking as sharp as they should...
you might be near sighted.
It doesn't hurt to have an eye doctor check to see if you need glasses.
Even if you think your eyes aren't that bad.
And the glasses REALLY help once you have them.
You'll suddenly realize what you've been missing!

For most people that are near sighted it's something that started early on. You can often find the person squinting frequently when trying to read things far away. It is easier to spot in children because they are constantly looking at things far away at school. They may mention the fact that they can't see the board. Some chidlren have headaches from staring so hard. Many people can't recall the one thing that they noticed but parents sometimes see it.
If for some reason the parents don't see it, the anual trip to the Optomatrist is where is can be diagnosed.
As for the person who posted before me...
If you ask any person that is found to have poor eye sight they will say everything seemed fine before. When all you see if blurry, you adjust and work with it. It's like when you ask someone that smokes if they can smell it on their own clothes. They'll say no because thats what they usually smell. If you ask that same person after they quit if they can smell it, they will say yes.

I've worn glasses since the 3rd grade, so it's a little hard to remember. However, it was as if all of a sudden, in the new school year, I couldn't see the blackboard anymore. I could see it clear as a bell the year before, but now I had to sit closer to it and still have to squint. An eye exam is a pretty easy thing to go through. If you think you may have a problem, just make an appointment to have your eyes checked. You can get an appointment very quickly at a place like LensCrafters or Sears Optical. Good luck.

No one had a clue with me because I didn't squint. I simply ignored what I couldn't make out. In the 3rd grade, I was the tallest student so I was put in the back and since I couldn't see the board (and probably the teacher but I can't recall) I simply entertained myself until the teacher realized I wasn't able to see. Then it was glasses for the rest of my life.

if you have to squint to see things far away, you know you're near sighted. And if you still can't see what's far away, you are very near sighted.
