Why has my vision worsen while wearing glasses but was okay before wearing them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Progression: Presumably you got glasses because there was some visual defect that you wanted to improve. The eyes change power independently of eyeglasses and so the power can increase which would appear to you as if the vision is worsening. You probably need an upgrade in the eyeglasses.
