Can your eyesight improve if you wear glasses all the time?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No : Your eye glasses work by bending light rays to focus on the retina. Your glasses may change with time but will not get less in power. This is a big misconception that wearing glasses will improve or even make your prescription worse. Your eyes will change regardless of glasses, it is an inherited/ genetic process.

Not at your age.: Glasses may only improve the best corrected vision in a child under the age of 10. After this age glasses only improve your vision when you wear them.
