Nearsighted?

I've had 20/20 vision for a while, I'm currently 16 and I today put on my friends glasses as a joke. I put them on and I could see things in higher detail and further away words weren't blurry. I current have Growth Hormone Disorder and take Norditropin, Vyvanse and Lexapro. My father, mother and brother all wear glasses because they're nearsighted. I have constant headaches and when I put them on they didn't hurt as much but when I took them off they started again. I've noticed for a little while I've needed to squint and stuff to see further away things. I don't really want to wear glasses, I would more want contacts. But do I need eye support?

Yes you need to see an Eye MD for a complete medical eye exam and glasses testing. GHD problems can be associated with eye problems. If you need glasses you can talk about contact lens
