A member asked:

When you start wearing glasses, do your eyes progressively get worse?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Generally not: Glasses are designed to improve the focus of the eye and improve clarity. Sometimes patients who start wearing readers feel that their near focus becomes more difficult and to a certain extent this is true. But eventually, readers become essential whether glasses are used initially or not.

Glasses: No. Glasses correct your vision. It is a common myth that glasses make your eyes worse.
