NOOOOOOOOOOO!!.
In most cases they will not be blind when they're older. Of course it will depend on what is causing the poor eyesight in the first place. There are some diseases of the eye that can result in blindness. I personally have had poor eyesight all of my life -- but beyond requiring glasses, I will not go blind.
Depend on if your eyesight is just because you have bad eyesight that requires glasses for correction, or if you have a condition like macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retenopothy, retenitouspigmentosia, etc. these condtions can lead to blindness in any age. If you just need corrective lens more than likely you won't go blind.

Blindness is caused by all sorts of disorders, diseases, and accidents.
