A member asked:

Is it possible for vision to be improved by not wearing glasses?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Glasses do not modify the vision nor does not wearing them change the way they will develop. If you do not wear the eyeglasses that improve your vision, you will do no harm, but you will just see less well.

Dr Jackson and another doctor agreed
