A member asked:
Is indentation from eyeglasses on your nose permanent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: If you develop red, deep indentations, see an eye doctor. You may need different frames. Although indentations caused by glasses are usually not permanent, they can lead to permanent dark spots in the area, especially in darker-pigmented individuals.
