Does my eyesight get worse if I wear glasses?

A statement we here nearly daily is “I don’t wear my glasses because it will make my eyes worse”. Well, to cut a long story short, they most definitely do not make your eyesight worse. Even the mildest of scripts help relax the eye from extra strain trying to see. That constant strain can add to the reason you may feel tired or even get headaches throughout the day.

Making sure you keep on top of you script by testing every 1-2 years and following the advice of your optometrist, can make all the difference in your day to day life. The fact is, once your eyes begin the process of degradation, it will most likely keep worsening over time. It will stable off for a while and if you’re a plus power, your sight may improve slightly as your eyes push towards a negative power.

In the end, the main reason why people don’t want to wear their glasses is because they don’t like the glasses they have. There are millions of different styles you can choose from and brands to cover every budget. If you treat your glasses as a fashion accessory before they become a tool, then you will want to wear them and the need to wear them is covered.
