Can i get cataracts from not wearing my glasses when i should?

No: Not using your glasses vision correction doesn't cause cataracts. Might just feel more eye strain. Should use sunglasses to filter out uv in sunlight.

No: Not wearing you correct spectacle correction over the age of ten cannot damage your eyes, under the age of 10 this can lead to poor vision development. Sunglass wear is another issue. Large amounts of ultraviolet exposure does increase the incidence of cataracts. Wear your sunglasses!
