>>12529296You're thinking of hyperopia, as you get older your eye muscles get weaker and it becomes harder to read things close to you. That's why old people use magnifying glasses and hold things away from their face when reading it.
>>12533646>but they got a lot worse when I started wearing glassesNo studies have shown this to be the case. Most likely what happened in your anecdote is one of two things, 1. you started wearing glasses when your eyes started to degrade and so you weren't as aware of it before or 2. you got used to having better vision and now when you take off your glasses it's more noticeable, your brain adapts somewhat to the poorer vision and fills in missing details when you've had decent vision from glasses it stops doing that.
