Do eyeglasses ruin your eyesight
When people first begin wearing eyeglasses or change their prescription, they may experience discomfort or a brief period of adjustment. This is often their vision worsening due to the new glasses. In reality, this sensation is temporary as the brain adjusts to the clarity provided by the corrective lenses.
Incorrect Prescription: If eyeglasses have not been accurately prescribed, or if there has been a mistake in the lens manufacturing, this could lead to visual discomfort and strain. However, this does not mean the glasses are causing lasting damage to the eyesight; rather, it indicates a need for a prescription adjustment.
Psychological and Dependency Concerns
Perceived Dependency: Some believe that relying on eyeglasses can make the eyes "lazy," leading to a deterioration of natural vision. This belief likely stems from the experience of clearer vision with glasses, making the contrast without them seem worse. Eyeglasses correct the vision but do not change the physical structure or health of the eye.
Adjustment to Clarity: Once individuals experience the improved vision that glasses provide, they may perceive their natural vision without glasses as worse than before. This is a comparison effect rather than an actual decline in eyesight caused by the eyeglasses.
The Role of Natural Vision Changes
Progression of Eye Conditions: Vision can naturally deteriorate over time due to health conditions, or the progression of refractive errors. This progression is often independent of whether one wears glasses or not. Regular eye exams can help monitor these changes and adjust prescriptions as necessary.
Lack of Exercise: There is a theory suggesting that the eyes, like any other part of the body, need exercise to maintain optimal health. Some argue that glasses can make the eyes work less, which could potentially weaken vision over time. However, there is minimal scientific evidence to support this theory, and eyeglasses are essential for correcting vision and preventing eye strain in daily activities.
