Don't beat yourself up. Kid's vision can change drastically over a few months, and they still may not complain about it, because it's a gradual enough change for them. My oldest dd's vision changed drastically between 7 and 8, and even after she'd gotten glasses, I didn't realize when she needed new glasses (after only 6 months) until we happened to be in an odd situation, discussing something far away, and she was baffled that I thought she'd be able to see it.
There's no way to know how long this has been an issue.
