most likely your eyes will continue to get worse if you wear your glasses or not. as we age we become more likely to need glasses. i would have a complete dilated eye exam so the doctor can check the health of the eye, as well as a refraction to see if a chacnge in your glasses prescription will help you. you may also want to speak to your doctor about your vision correction options such as contact lenses or a refractive surgery such as lasik...good luck

If you don't want to wear glasses, consider Lasik Surgery. However, you can not go without your glasses, even though what you say is true about your eyes getting worse from wearing glasses.
What happens is, your eyes get lazy because they don't have to do all the work anymore.

i wonder about this...because i swear my eyesight got worse because of my glasses--the glasses are compensating for my eye doing the work.

but anyway, this might not happen for all people, but i know my dad was slightly myopic (near-sighted), and he REFUSED to wear glasses...and then after a while his vision returned to 20/20


aside: i read somewhere that young children (just starting school) that get prescribed glasses may not actually have eyesight problems...and their blurred vision may have been from stress--then forcing them to wear glasses only worsened their sight.


if your eyesight isn't that bad, and you don't like wearing your glasses, you don't have to (well, unless when driving or operating heavy machinery--because that's dangerous)

If your prescription hasn't stabalised yet then your eyes will keep changing regardless of you wearing glasses. Your Rx usually stabalises when you are in your mid 20s. If you don't wear them you are straining your eyes and they may drop even lower then they would have. Having lasik before the Rx is stable is pointless, you will just wear a weaker prescription when they change again. Wear your glasses now, wait until yor eyes stop changing and then if you get lasik you will have a good 20-25 years before you have to wear reading glasses.

They (your eyes) will probably get worse if you dont wear your glasses, but your eyes are always changing, so thats why you need to get your eyes checked about once a year so the doc can change your perscription accordingly.

Get a new prescription and things will become clear to you.

Definitely wear your glasses. Do not let your eyesight go impaired. I know for me before I had lasik done i would get headaches when I had my glasses on but i would get even worse headaches with my glasses off. Besides you would hate to have known your vision was impaired more cause you did not treat your eyes by wearing your glasses. If you are interested in receiving consultation definitely check out my2020.com They have reduced evaluations. Good luck
