A member asked:
Can wearing glasses with a prescription of -0.25 when you have 20/20 vision damage your sight?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Your prescription is rather weak and not required if your vision is 20/20. Your uncorrected vision won't prevent you from seeing 20/20 either. If your rx was just a bit stronger, you'd be blurrier without glasses. Night time vision brings out the blurry vision more, and therefore you may like this slight visual improvement. Either way, wearing your minimal rx won't harm your eyes.
