“How do I know if I need glasses?”

A complete ophthalmologic exam should be performed.

Compare your vision at a distance to an acquaintance who has good vision. Probably reading the print on a storefront or billboard would indicate whether you see as well as this person. If not, then you might need an eye examination.

See an ophthalmologist for an eye exam & refraction (measurement for glasses)

See an eyecare specialist to check your visual system.

Having to squint in order to see something clearly is a strong sign that glasses would improve your vision. I’d definitely recommend an eye exam to look into it closely.
