I'm having some eye discomfort?I'm 15, and I'm having some discomfort in my vision, its not all of a sudden its been kinda gradual and has lasted for most of the day. I dont really know if its blurred vision, eye fatigue, or eye strain. I can read just fine and everything looks pretty much normal. Ive been researching on the internet and of course now im getting worried reading about cataracts, glaucoma, and what not. Please help!

Get a good basic eye exam. Should cost anywhere from $ 50 to $ 80, in that range. I had eyestrain up to the age of 20 when I found out that I had hyperopia (farsightedness). No big deal to fix, just glasses or contacts. The eyes were healthy, just a focus problem. Lasik, laser correction is available today for many people.
The simple eye chart on the wall, the kind a school nurse does, is not the way to go. Pay a few bucks and get peace of mind. I got my last exam at the local Costco vision center for $ 49. You are pretty young from cataracts or glaucoma. I suspect just basic myopia or hyperopia, easily fixed with corrective lenses. If you have a family doctor it might be a good to mention the situation. When I started wearing glasses I felt strange at first. But having no headaches and sharp vision is really worth it.
Email me through my "profile" link and let me know how it is going.

well, statistically unlikely to be cataracts & glaucoma. more likely to be refractive error (need for glasses).
get some rest and if it doesnt go away make an appt for the optometrist
