Bad vision does not discriminate, anyone can have it at any age. I suggest if you need bifocals to correct your vision and to be able to see, then get them, otherwise you are straining your eyes to read, and see things around you.

Everyone is different. There are even some children who wear bifocals. If you are farsighted, you will experience this problem earlier than a person who is nearsighted. Use a search engine of your choice, and type in "latent hyperopia" or a combination of "farsighted+bifocals".

There is no set age for eye problems or problems with eyesight . Tiny babies have very poor eyesight It is just a fact of life. Do not worry about age being a factor the main factor is being able to see well and to refrain from eyestrain and headaches. Get your glasses and be happy with them

40 is the avg age when the eyes start to go. I was right on schedule. Try some of those cheapy reading glasses at the drugstore to see if that helps temporarily.

Im totally useless without my glasses or contact lenses

Yes, this is very common at your age. I worked as an assistant at an ophthalmologist. It was very common to see those in their upper 30's and 40's needing to switch to bifocals.
