A member asked:

After you wear glasses, does your eyes change or get worse to the prescription strength of your lenses? or does your eye acuity stay the same regardless if you have them on or not?

A perfect eyeglass prescription will not change your eyes. Too much minus power can cause your eyes to grow longer and become more nearsighted. After age 26, prescriptions are usually stable until a person develops hardening of the lens from cataract. In young people, more time outside, decreasing near screen time, and very low dose Atropine are used to prevent progression of myopia.

Wearing prescription eyeglasses does not eventually weaken or change your eyesight even if you wear the wrong eyeglasses.

Eye glasses will not worsen your vision. Refractive error may change with time, irrespective of your glasses. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
