A member asked:
If you are near sighted, is it possible for your vision to improve without wearing glasses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: What you are implying is the common perception that the wearing of eyeglasses will cause a need for them to increase. The eyes will do the best whether or not the need for eyeglasses is corrected. At your age the most significant change will be presbyopia, the need for near vision correction as one advances over age 40.
