What happens (short term and long term) if you're prescribed glasses but don't wear the often?

No change: The eyes do not care what is hanging off the nose. They will function as best as they can. The only downside of not wearing your glasses is that you will not see as well. But the eyes don't care and will change based on age but not based on whether the eyeglasses are worn or not.

Depends: If both your eyes are rather similar in the image they present to the brain,you are likely to do okay.You'll go through life with fuzzy vision but if it works for you it's your choice.If one eye is noticeably better than the other, over time your brain may decide to "turn off" the poorer eyes input, creating a preventable vision loss called amblyopia.Clear this up with your eye doc.It's important
