No, you cannot go blind from not wearing your glasses, unless you aren't wearing them when something sharp flys into your eyes. Then you can go blind.

well glasses in the long run makes ur vision worse, i haven't worn mine in 1 year and i wore them for 1 year, the year that i had the glasses on my vision without them has signiffigantly droped, so now i dont wear them and i can see all right, however i can't read at far distances so just keep ur glasses so u can do that!
However wearing glasses i dont think can make u go blind, unless u do some thing stupid like look into the sun! glasses will make ur vision without them a little worse but if u wear them all the time u won't notice that!

You will not go blind, however, the next time you go in for an Optometry appointment, your prescription will be worse and your eyes will see fuzzily. If I were you I'd wear your glasses. Is this your first time with glasses? If it is, then I would try wearing them for around 2 hours the first day, 4 hours the next day...etc. I've been wearing them since I was 2 and it's gotten so that I don't even realize they are on anymore. Sometimes I even fall asleep with them on. Anyhow, if you don't like glasses, you could always try contact lenses!

Eventually yes you can. I went almost two years without wearing my glasses like I should have and am now paying the price. My vision is so bad that I can barely see without my glasses. Don't make the same mistake I did. Wear your glasses everyday. Don't forget there is also contacts.

I don't know about blind, but if u don't wear them your eyes and your head are going to hurt.
You'll probably end up getting a new prescription because your vision has become worse from not wearing them.

Well it definately will cause more strain on your eyes and your vision might deterioate but dont worry you wont go blind, its not that bad. Remember in the world before glasses they werent all blind.

No. But it won't improve your vision problem. So just wear the darned glasses. Maybe when you're a little older you can get contacts instead.

I worked in the optometric field for 5 long boring years; your vision does not worsen from not wearing your glasses or contacts - you just walk around not seeing as well as you should. "Eyestrain" is actually the brain struggling to correct and adjust your vision, and can lead to massive headaches.

No you won't go blind. However, eye sight does tend to digress as we age.
