Help understanding eyeglass prescription?!


Question: Help understanding eyeglass prescription?
My prescription is as follows:

OD: -1.50(SPH) -3.00(CYL) 032(AXIS)

OS: plano(SPH) -2.25(CYL) 137(AXIS)

Should I wear these glasses all of the time? I feel like I'm fine not wearing them at the computer or reading. I even feel okay not wearing them at home. I am worried that I will get dependant on them.

You are a little nearsighted in your right eye and have quite a bit of astigmatism in both eyes. These glasses should help your vision both near and far but, because the astigmatism part is pretty strong, they may take a while to get used to.

If you don't want to wear them all the time, nothing dreadful is going to happen. (Whether you wear them or not, it will make no difference in how bad your vision ultimately becomes). So, you might as well wear them whenever they help and stop worrying about it.



Wearing them won't make your eyes worse, nor will it make your eyes better. What it will do is to make it easier for you to see well. It is a myth that wearing your glasses makes your eyes "weaker" or "dependent."
