Misconceptiions on Not Wearing Eye Glasses

Tweet

Good morning myLotters! I would just like to address a concern regarding people with defect in their vision or eye sight. I really wonder why it would always come to their minds that they should avoid wearing eye glasses often, because it would only further worsen the blurriness o their eyesight. Actually, its the other way around. I have met so many people who always explains to me that they avoid wearing glasses becuase they don't want to stress their eyes with the strain glasses bring. I am a near sighted person, with a grade of -4.00. That grade is I think, a bit high already. And like before, I don;t wear glasses simply because I don;t like to wear one. It makes me feel like I am 5 years older than my actual age. But then, when I had my eyes checked again, the grade went from -1.25 to -3.75. It was a very drastic soar for me. The ophthalmologist advised me that I should wear glasses ALWAYS. She explained that the grade in the glasses will serve as support for my eyes, since it is not working properly anymore. She said that if I don;t provide support for my eyes, it would be really stressed, thus, accelerating the eye grade, making our vision more blurry. wearing those eye supports would help lessen the possibility of accelerating the eye grade. BUt she suggested that if I really don't like to use it, I can use graded contact lenses. That way, I can avoid the strain from glasses and the uncomfortable feeling when I wear glasses. That is why, for those guys who have defects in their vision, have it checked annually, use eye support (glasses or contact lenses), and never abuse our eyes (like reading while lying down, against the light or in the dark). I hoped this helped a lot,! for any questions, just hit comment. :D
