A member asked:
Will wearing glasses without grade or refraction index damage the eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Eyes are pretty tough and flexible. If the glasses you are wearing are incorrect in some way, the eyes will do the best to see and will not be harmed -- you simply will not see as well as you could. (honestly i don't know what you mean by 'grade' - you could re ask that if it is still an issue for you.).
