Deteriorating vision

  I am a 31 yr old male who never needed glasses.  Last october I got
  my first pair.  Since October it seems like my vision has been getting
  worse.  It now seems I am squinting while my glasses are on, and it
  is harder to read road signs while driving.  I suppose I am concerned that
  there may be a larger problem, and the bad vision is a by-product of
  some other issue.  Should I get checked out?  If so, for what? Thank you.

Did you actually need glasses?  I would recommend a comprehensive ophthalmic examination to rule out any pathology or problem.  Most likely you need a mild corrective change and sometimes the corrective change given is too strong.  I suspect this is the case rather than some underlying problem but I recommend that this be evaluated by an ophthalmolgist to rule out any retinal, optic nerve or corneal problem.  Good luck.
