I got glasses and squinting makes my vision worse. You probably have astigmatism and squinting limits the disparity of vision between both eyes because you’re limiting the amount of light that enters your pupils. Your eye’s lenses are different shapes and squinting is a hack to make the difference in shape less impactful on vision. If you close one eye rather than squinting it might have the same effect.

Go to the eye doctor because squinting to see is NOT normal, unless it’s too bright. If you squint to see better in the daylight you most definitely have issues driving at night, and are dangerous in the roads when it’s raining at night because of how much light is reflecting off random surfaces.
