My eyesight is getting worse and I don't know what to do!?

You're not losing your eyesight because of your iphone/computer use. There's 0 research that I've ever seen that has linked any type of activity to progressively poorer eyesight. More than likely you're getting older. It happens, it sucks, and everyone deals with it. I asked my optometrist about this once, and she told me that between your toddler years and late 20's, your eyesight changes a lot. From then on, it'll change more slowly, but still continue to worsen (Again, it's part of aging).

Either way, you'll want to go get an eye checkup (and they'll be able to explain your misconceptions better than I). Honestly, though, you should be going anyway, especially if you're having other issues, such as dry eyes. Realize, though, that keeping your eyes open for extended periods of time (people tend to blink less when on the computer, texting, etc), your eyes will get dry. When the air conditioner is on, cold air tends to be dry, so that will only make it worse.

As far as glasses go, don't believe the nonsense your friends are telling you. Glasses don't make your eyes get worse over time. Your eyes will progressively get worse, regardless (even if you have perfect vision), and hence, you'll eventually have to get stronger glasses. Some people go through most of their life with good vision, but eventually, everyone will have problems. However, that is again aging, and has nothing to do with the glasses.
