Do eye exercises and wearing a weaker prescription work for improving your vision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Eye exercises have not been proven in any legimate scientific study to improve vision. Wearing weak glasses will make your eyes tired and give you a headache. They will not improve your vision.
