Was my life as a bespectabled person a lie?

I have worn glasses since I was 7 years old (I'm 32). I went for a checkup yesterday, and turns out my eyesight is 20/15 (better than normal)...what happened? I went for a check up because I lately feel like things are blurrier than usual, so I wasn't expecting great news.

They had three doctors check me because they were confused. I had to read the eye chart multiple times. The first time I was given a prescription for glasses. The second time they took it back and the third time they confirmed that I do not need eyeglasses.

I was really confused. The third doctor told me that maybe my eyesight used to be even better, but now that I am at 20/15 I feel like things are blurry. This sounded like a really weak speculation to me (every doctor who tested my eyesight would have to have been wrong for this to be true). The second doctor said that my eyes seemed a little dry, and maybe that is what caused the sensation of blurriness.

Is this likely? Should I get a second fourth opinion?

I am actually considering fake glasses because I cannot read or study or work without wearing them. I feel naked. Is wearing fake glasses as ridiculous as I think it is?
