A member asked:
Can wearing glasses when you don't need them give you a lazy eye?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Theoretically: In theory, yes this is possible but it seems unreasonable a person would wear spectacles making the vision so bad as to induce amblyopia.

No: You would have to wear a strong prescription full time before the age of 10 or 12. This would be practically impossible.
