Is it better to wear eye glasses all the time?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes for comfort: Wearing glasses full time is very important for a child under the age of 9 to allow the visual system to develop. After this age wearing, or not wearing your prescription glasses will not cause your eyes to deteriorate, or damage them. You will experienc less eye strain and fatigue if you wear youre glasses full time.

It does not matter: Unless you are a child, it does not matter whether you wear glasses part time or full time. Do what is comfortable.
