A member asked:
If i read a lot & use a laptop lots, is it okay to wear reading glasses that are +1.0 if i haven't been prescribed them? will it ruin my eyesight?

No harm: At your age your natural accomodation should allow clear vision of reading material and computer screens. If you are more comfortable using a plus one lens, that is OK and not harmful. It will not ruin your eyesight
