Answers: for purely fashionable reasons, no harm there
ya.........
It's not right but it's okay
no definately not! its about as bad as looking directly into the sun! everyones retinas are unique, and so using glasses that are not specifically designed for your eye problems can not only lead to further eye problems but can permenantly damage ur eyesight.
just go to specsavers hun!
I was told by my eye doctor the last appointment that I needed reading glasses, and to just go to Walmart or the dollar store and get some.
My son's last appointment, his doctor, however, told him he needed readers, but never use the over the counter ones, because each eye is not the same, and the glasses are in both lenses the same strength. Therefore, your stronger eye will be weakened by wearing a stronger lense then needed on one eye. That, makes more sense to me then what my doctor told me.
no you should not wear someone else's glasses, because you could do major damage to your own eyes, even if you feel you can see out of them
If your just wearing them for fashion make sure you have PLANO (no prescription) lenses. It is advisable to get a yearly check up
