If i had never worn glasses, would my eye sight be as bad as it is now? Or would I have at least not gotten bad not so fast?
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: According to the American College of Ophthalmology, on their web page entitled “Eye Care Facts and Myths: A Closer Look,” it’s just an old wives’ tale that glasses make your eyes degrade faster. To quote them:
“Wearing eyeglasses will cause you to become dependent on them.” True or False?
False. Eyeglasses are used to correct blurry vision. Since clear vision with eyeglasses is preferable to uncorrected vision, you may find that you want to wear your eyeglasses more often. Although it may feel as if you are becoming dependent on your eyeglasses, you are actually just getting used to seeing clearly.
