From 5 until 27 my eyes degraded steadily - I have "Coke bottle" glasses. However, since high school it's been contacts. Vision is somewhat stable now and the massive nearsightedness held off the need for readers until about 50.
I have a friend who went through the same type of thing. She said "until she got her glasses she thought trees were just big green fuzzy things" she was amazed of her new world.
I have been very lucky and should have known better. I have a Dr. apt in one year and will probably go biannual after that. The Dr said I do have early signs of a cataract starting in one eye.
