Do I Need Glasses?

[Voyager92]

Hey there. I am 21 years old. I think I need glasses, I am going to get an eye exam. I just wanted to know your thoughts. I have a hard time going from reading to looking at the tv, its all blurry and I have to squint to see what it says vice versa. At the gym, while exercising, I cannot read the closed captioning on the BIG tvs they have all across the front of the room and i am only a few feet away. I get a headache almost everday and some lighting just plays tricks on my eyes. Do you think I need glasses? Or am I just going to waste 70$ on an eye exam? And also .. how much are glasses.
I am in Canada, if that matters.

1. Yes you need an exam. Yes you may need glasses.
2. The cost of glasses depends on how much you want to spend on frames and various lens coatings. Proably as little as $50 to as much as $500 or more.
