Is it true that glasses make your eyes worse.
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Your eyes will or will not get worse whether you wear glasses or not. Generally nearsightedness gets worse during your teens and early 20s and then stablizes. Farsightedness may get better during teens and then tends to get worse later on. Loss of focusing or presbyopia starts in the 40s, and progresses into the 50s to 60s and then stablizes.
