Answers:
I suppose it could if you don't need them for certain things!. But some people need to wear their glasses all the time so they can see!. It all depends on your prescription and whether or not you are near-sighted or far-sighted!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Depends who you ask, but the general consensus seems to be "no," or at least "not much"!. The only case where that might be possible is in kids (or teenagers) -- while they're growing, there is a potential to 'change' the prescription, but once you're older than that, your eyes stop growing and your Rx should be mostly stable!. The confusion mostly arises because, for most people, as they go from part-time wear to full-time wear, they feel they're more dependent on the glasses, and they can no longer do the things they used to without glasses!. This isn't so much a prescription change as it is a change in your perception of what "seeing good enough" is!. Even in younger people, the general thought is that you might be able to slow down the progression of the Rx changes, but you certainly won't stop it, and kids are better off being able to see but having a slightly higher Rx in the end than penalizing them with part-time wear or multiple pairs of glasses for their developing years!.

Mother Nature makes your eyes worse, not over wearing glasses!. As you grow and change, so do your eyes!. If you don't put on your glasses in the morning let's say, you think you see pretty good!. That's good functional vision!. Next, put your glasses on!. You've just experienced best corrected vision which is always sharper and clearer!. Now when you take your glasses off, things "appear" more blurry!. See!? No pun intended!. Wear your specs as you need them!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I do'nt know how true that can be!. Ask your doctor he'll tell you!. As for me, well I've worn glasses since I was 13!. My prescription has not changed in the last 10 years!. So I can easily say that its not true, but I think its just depends on your eyes and what is wrong internally with them!. Many things can go wron gwith our eyes so your doc is the best person to ask!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no because my eye doctor said you become MORE dependent on the glasses which may worsen your eyesight although its not very likely!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
