Hi! i have 25 years and i have an 0.50 astigmatism. i have a cylinder glasses prescription. should i wear them or not?

When driving: Yes, wear the glasses when driving and any other time that you would like to see better. Also, wearing the glasses may prevent eye strain if you have any. I agree that the prescription is small, but sometimes a little bit better vision prevents a car accident.
