At what age did you and/or your parents need to wear glasses?

At what age did you and/or your parents need to wear glasses?

I will turn 30 this year and can still see clearly for the most part except recently, I noticed reading from far away has become a bit more difficult.
The other day at the bus station, I wanted to know how many minutes left until the bus would arrive. The text on the passenger information display (about 30 meters away from me) seemed quite blurry and I had to squint my eyes to figure out.
My father started wearing glasses in his mid 30s and needs them all the time to be able to see.
My mother also had her first pair of glasses in her 30s but only for reading. Same thing for the majority of my uncles and aunts.
Only one of my cousins who is in her late teens needs glasses. Her father told me she's playing games on her phone all the time and claims that would be the reason.
I'm afraid I will need them as well sooner or later since being required to look at screens everyday doesn't help.
I remember the exact same situation at the bus station also happened 10 years ago but my eyes recovered quickly as opposed to now, it seems I have permanent myopia (for now, still mild and only in my right eye).
