Glasses hurt eyes?

I was wondering, because I got new glasses and every time I go to da eye doctor he says my eyes get worse. So I was wondering if glasses actually damage your eyes, because they make your eyes lazy? Will it hurt my eyes 2 take my glasses on and off constantly 4 different axctivities?

Answer #1

In the past optometrists often under-corrected with the idea that by forcing the eyes to work harder that vision would improve or at least not degrade as quickly.

This idea has largely been abandoned by eye doctors. The opposite is sometimes true. If one of your eyes are incapable of focusing on something you brain may quit trying and just use the sharper image from your other eye. This can lead to lazy eye or amblyopia.

Answer #2

Could be that you aren’t wearing your glasses enough.
