My eyes aren't that bad, and my optician has said nothing about that. But I am just wondering.

Answers:
Many people are near-sighted & don't go blind. If it is very severe you might be more prone to a retinal detachment or glaucoma, but those are both treatable conditions.

No, but if you wear your glasses you can be like me and not have to wear them anymore. My short-sightedness has gone the way of the wind.

Good luck.
