As an optometrist with over a decade of experience in vision correction, I can confidently say that glasses are designed to correct vision problems and improve eyesight, not worsen them. When individuals wear the correct glasses, they are essentially compensating for the refractive errors in their eyes, which can include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, or presbyopia (age-related loss of near vision). For children, it's particularly important that they wear the right glasses because their eyes are still developing. If children do not have the proper correction, they may not receive clear images on their retinas, which can lead to a condition known as lazy-eye or amblyopia. This condition occurs when the brain starts to ignore the input from one eye to avoid the confusion of double vision or other visual problems caused by the lack of a sharp image. In summary, wearing glasses does not make your eyesight worse; instead, it helps to correct vision and can be crucial for the proper development of vision in children. read more >>
