I heard from my grandma that if you wear glasses too often then your eye sight will get worse. I also heard that if you don't wear glasses then your eye sight will get worse. So which is true?

I already wear glasses and im really worried about my eye sight getting worse.

[PDURRR]

i think its true lol
i've been wearing glasses since 4th grade and my visions get worse and worse every year till like 8th grade where i switched from contacts and glasses everyday...degrees been the same ever since but yeahh...everyones different

i think you need to find the balance between when you should wear glasses and when you shouldn't
and find time to like "exercise" the eyes every so often, like stare at something far and try and focus on it just so your eyes don't get lazy

Not true. My friend wore glasses since she was born and her eyesight got better, and now she doesn't even need them =) encourages me everytime. You ask your optomotrist if you're really concerned, I'm sure she'll give you a better answer since she knows your eyes

[rinimeatballs]

I've been wearing mine since the 5th grade and my vision gets better, then worse. So I have no idea if its true or not.

[CaramelSweetie]

my vision has gotten more worse every year. ;-;

[ithinkitslove]

my friend wore glasses in 6th grade, and we're in 8th grade now
her eyesight has gotten worse.
she changes her glasses every year, and right now she needs to change them too since she can't read the board that well when we're in class O_O
but maybe it depends on the person?
you can always do laser when you get older XD

My eyes are 1.5. I just got new glasses this February and I've been wearing glasses since then. My eyesight got worse. =[ I really regretted wearing it everyday because my friend is 1.5 too but her eyesight is better than mine cause she doesnt wear glasses regularly like 24/7.

I think it's different for every person.
My brother is on the computer a LOT more than I was at his age but his eyes are fine...

My optometrist told me that if I don't wear my glasses often that my eyes might get even worse from squinting/straining my eyes too much :x

[darkbahamut]

Its true. However for some people its different. I was told wearing contact lens isntead of your glasses does not increase eyesight because the lens are directly on your eye.

[seryberry]

ive been wearing glasses since 4th grade. could be true. haha

[iota]

It depends.

When my prescription wasn't as bad, I only wore my glasses when I was reading off the board at school, etc. - I didn't wear them all the time. My eyesight got worse and worse every year. I've worn my glasses all the time starting from last year, my eyesight did get worse but not by as much as before. My eyesight is pretty bad so I need to wear them all the time because if I don't, I just squint trying to see things and that's even worse.

If you have a fairly light prescription, then I don't think you should wear your glasses all the time. To be safe, you should probably ask your optometrist about it. My optometrist told me to wear them all the time, so I do.

[jiwoneex3]

i've been wearing my glasses for years now,
and they're getting worse.
i'm scared.

[tofu plushie]

I think it depends. My eyes got continually worse than it kind of leveled and my eye sight has stayed the same for like 6 years. Hopefully, it won't get worse anytime soon.

[sus]

both
its a lose lose situations

if u dun wear glasses.. ur constantly straining ur eyes hence ur eyes will get worse

n if u wear glasses it will naturally get worse.. something to do with the distance between the glasses lens and ur eyes lens

soo ive HEARD that contacts are better cos it minimises that space
but on the other hand... contacts are just as bad? cos its touchin ur eye n its dirty etc ...


oh well i wear both ... as long as i can see its good

[random koohkie]

The myth that wearing your glasses too much will cause your eyes to worsen isn't true. Your eyes change over the years, for better or worse..
My cousin wore glasses all the time for 6 or 7 years and he went got better; about -4.5 to -3.75 :/

[beckii]

glasses can be used when you're young as a preventative measure against abnormal development of vision, etc...if you eyesight is going down when u wear glasses its either because you are growing, your eyes is growing too and changing so u will need new glasses to accommodate for those changes...else that or your prescription was wrong in the first place rofl.

glasses should help, not hinder=]

[bigfatPANDA]

it depends on the person.. but my eyesight has been getting worse through the years. i started in 4th grade and now i'm in junior year.

if it's really a true concern, when you're old enough maybe you can consider getting lasik.

[ninyaah]

I started wearing glasses during fourth grade but then I stopped wearing them after that. My eyesight actually got better. But now that I'm in college it became worse .. so I think it depends also.

[LionAngel]

my eyesight gets worse every year even if i do wear glasses.. i'm myopic

[Millou]

Not sure, but I think my eye sight got worser after using the computer more intensively...
